I know before you say I work in I.T. I should know, But I work with SCSI not fooking SATA.

I am building a cheap server for a back hander. Now I have worked out how to select raid, but it asks for for both raid drives must be on the primary, but how do you do it with SATA cables

Thanks in advance

 

Don't you do it via the jumper settings on the drive ?

 

I cannot see any jumpers on SATA

 

Hmmm, Is there nothing in the raid controller software to distinguish between master and slave. i haven't got a SATA drive here unfortunately to look at or test

 

no when in IDE mode it shows all the drives when I select raid it just shows the drves on primary

 

On that note, I've just bought a 250 gig Western Digital drive

 

Ok, how many drives have you got on this machine ? How many SATA ports are there on the board ??

 

i thought sata made spray guns

 

sorted, once you select raid in the bios and save next reboot brings up the array config util

I am one thick cunt

thanks chaps

 

Lol, Glad you got it sorted m8


Makes note for next time
