I am using my onboard intel raid controller. I have an Asus P5Q. I checked the manual and it did not state if I can expand or not. Do you know if that motherboard can?

I need a minimum of 4 hard drives to setup for a raid 5 right? Can I add a 5th hard drive or more in the future to the same raid setup? or Do I need to reconfigure the raid setup when adding new hard drives?

Yes I will be using an intel onboard raid for this setup. My motherboard is an Asus P5Q. So the setup I mentioned above would be a good choice? 1x 120gb WD 10,000 RPM (Install Win 7 Pro) 4x 1TB WD 7200 RPM (Raid 5 setup)

Correct me if I'm wrong. In order to setup raid 5 I would have to install the OS on a seperate volume? Do I need a 5th hard drive to insatll the windows OS ? 1x 120gb WD 10,000 rpm hardrive 4x 1tb WD 7200 rpm - setup as raid 5 can the above setup be done?

Will it be ok if I mixed these drives for the raid 5 setup? 2x 1tb 7200 wd black 2x 1tb wd green

I think I should just reformat and install Windows Home server. It seems to bee the most cost efficient way to do for now. If I add 4 1tb hard drives to my WHS setup can I configure to show like 1 hard drive?

I see... I didn't know that the raid controllers that came with our motherboards sucks. My question is, I want to have about 4 TB of storage so I can drop all my files into it and just store them. At the same time I don't want so many drive letters. What can I do to make all 4 hard drive look...

Thanks for your replies, I understand that raid is not a source of back up. I do have an offisite back up for my data. My motherboard already has an integrated raid controller card. Can I just use the raid card that is onboard or do I need a dedicated raid controller card?

Hi all! I have an old PC lying around that I would like to turn into a file system. Please let me know which raid setup is best for my configuration and needs? Windows 7 professional core 2 duo 6600 ASus p5x 8gb of memory 1 WD 80gb 10000rpm (os installed on this drive) 4 WD 1 TB 7200...

ASUS Eee PC 1000HA $330 MSI Win Atom $300 Both are similar in spec. Which one would you guys choose and why? There's a few mini laptops to out in the market and I am not sure which one to go with. Thanks!

If specs are similar and both has Leopard OS installed which will be faster? Since the new apple computer are using either dual 2 core or quad core cpu it's pretty much the same specs I can build for a PC but much cheaper. I want to know if it is faster to run CS4 on a apple OS than a PC OS...

EVGA X58 SLI board. this motherboard looks good.. Should I max it out with 12gb of ddr3 or will I have stability issues?

That's what I did I left everything on AUTO and slowly up the FSB. At default my memory was at 266mhz. I am using GSkill PC6400 DDR 800 mhz. Is that normal for it to be at 266mhz? The default setting was 266 * 9 = 2400mhz. When I left everything on auto and bumped up only the voltage for...

Thanks for the reply! I have verizon FIOS in my area, Can I just subscribe to the fastest package 20mb D / 5mb U and host a webserver on my Dlink 323 NAS storage drive?

Ok thanks I will try it I'm a bit confused on the FSB stuff. I am using DDR 800 memory. By default the FSB is at 266mhz. Do I leave it at 266mhz or change it to match the memory?

I actually purchased that cable before and it does not work. VGA to S video did not work!

I made sure after reformating back to Windows XP pro to installed all updated motherboard drivers, BIOS and other software / drivers needed. -I am pretty sure that I didn't have any static shock on the card while installing it into the system. But it can also be a DOA card, who knows.

I think it's a PCI-e x16. I purchased this system like 2-3 months ago. The next thing that will concern me is probably the power supply. Should I go for another lower end video card like a Geforce 7300gs low profile? All I need for this system is for TV-Out so any video card that works...
