Two different storage system

[junglicious]

Can you put two different storage system on one computer or can you only use one or the other?

ie having raid and non raid drive.

You can very easily put a single drive in a computer with a separate RAID controller.

You can very easily put a single drive in a computer with a separate RAID controller.

Can that drive be on the same motherboard sata controller or would I need a separate sata controller?

That is a RAID on a raid controller card and the separate drive on the motherboard sata controller. Would you know where I can find more info on this. I tried to search but I guess I do not know how to term it.
Thanks

Judging by your motherboard you likely have multiple SATA controllers onboard. Regardless of that, you can usually create a raid and have a single drive exist on the same controller. I would consult your motherboard manual if you are unsure.

With most Intel-based on-board RAID controllers, you are able to have one or more RAID arrays and single drives share the same controller. Single drives would be marked as JBOD, one drive in each JBOD `array'.
