Mixing RAID and non RAID P5Q-Pro

ajf · 23 Jan 2010 at 17:15

I have just installed two drives as RAID 0 and also want to add a third drive temporarily so I can copy some data over to the new disk(s).
Can I just plug the additional drive into one of the SATA ports or do I need to configure the BIOS anywhere to allow this?

Thanks
Andrew

Await for someone who actually knows for sure....but from what I know, since you have already setup the raid array in the BIOS, any additional drives added should just be able to be used as normal SATA drives, as they havent been specified to be used as RAID.

yes, dig out the manual. You should still have some ports left as standard sata.

yes you could just plug in without any other setting.

Thanks everyone.
Yep, plugged the drive straight in and it worked a treat
