is this possible?

So say you have a PERC 5/i card, and you want to have 3x 36gb SAS drives for the OS, and 3x 750gb sata drives for storage. can you do this? or do you need 2 raid cards?

if we don't order a new server. the current one has a perc 4/sc card in it. it is using 3x 36 gb drives and we wanted to know if we could get 3 larger drives and put them in a second raid.

Thanks

Scott
 
my 2320 did 2 seperate raid 5 arrays just fine. I think your card should be able to handle it.
 
I know it *can* be done... I'm not sure if that raid card supports it, but I do know it can be done.
 
I have 4x 80GB Raptors in RAID0 and 4x 320GB Barracudas in RAID5 on my Perc 5i just fine. BUT. With two arrays it makes each one a little slower.
