Title: Need help on Raid for my pc
Post by: InsaneTrout on January 06, 2009, 02:02:05 AM
Ok so the mobo I got for Christmas I know nothing about because it's nothing to what I even wanted so I don't know the specs to it except that it has a Core 2 Duo @2.20 (crappy I know but that's Irrelevant) ok so this new mobo has 4 sata ports but I don't know if my mobo is raid capable, How can I figure out if it's capable of raid because I want to get a  couple 500Gb Hard drives in this thing and run them under I think It's Raid level 0 or level 1 so how would I know if I am Raid Capable?

It's an Intel mobo, It's an Essential Series D945GCNL specifically made for the Intel Core 2 Duo and My CPU is A Dual Core E2200 @2.20Ghz

doesnt look like it supports raid, its a very basic board.
