Hello all im having a play with my server and have the following config:
Striker Extreme
E6700
8GB Corsair 6400
1 x 320GB OS
4 x 1TB (Raid 5)
1 x DVD-RW SATA
The problem im having is i have set the raid up in the bios but there seems to be 2 one where you enable sata and then enable each drive and the Sil3132.
Which one do i want im sure it was the one where you enable each drive manually and change its mode to SATA.
Anyways aside from that i go into the raid bios and set it to raid 5 and set my stripe but if i add all 4 x 1TB drives it only gives me around 700GB, if i add just 3 drives it works fine.
Is this a drive size limitation on the controller?
Any advice apart from the obvious of buying a dedicated raid controller.
Cheers
