   ( >> )

I am looking to raid1, 8- 1Tb drives . The mother board (an asus P5K-E/WIFI-AP)has 8 sata ports. Does anyone know if you can create multiple raided disks on the same motherboard, or will I have to get separate controller cards to form 4 separate 2 disk arrays.

Thanks.......Mark

Here Don't know if they let you view without registering, but I believe they do

It generally depends on the quality of the controller but with 4 arrays set up, I'd look into a external controller card.
