I just wanted to know if I have 2 80g 8cache 7200RPM hard drives but one is sata and one is ide can you put them in a raid array?

I know there not the same model cause one is sata but after searching the net I couldn't find any info.

MB= ASUS k8v se deluxe

You can as long as you're onboard raid controller will allow you to setup raid that way. I would recommend against it using different drives as it could, as in might or might not, cause performance issues. I could also go into the arguments against raid 0, but that's your decision there. Inevitably someone will though.

After your post and a few other post aginst raid I think I will steer clear of it and just the other 80g for movies/games and such.
So raid offers no performance gains even in 1?
Ty much!
 
There's really no point in RAID unless you do something on your computer that would call for it. To the average person RAID is pointless.....

I was going to basicaly use it for speed or backing up but from what I hear its not good for either.
:(
 
Backing up in RAID is a big no no kinda. The risk of losing data on a RAID setup is about double that of just a normal HD, or just two seperate drives.

There is a speed boost, but for the most part its very small, and really only noticable when you are doing something that requiers a ton of HD access.
