Hello,
I want to build a RAID 5 aray on the MB - a P35-DS4 with ICH9R chip.
1. Should Windows 7 be booted direct of the RAID or is the best prcatise to install windows on a seperate dedicated disk and then install the windows/swap on the dedicated system drive and the apps/data on the RAID? What are the advantages of doing that?
2. I want to update my MB/CPU in a few months. Will the RAID be movable onto the ICH10R chip on the latest MB's? Or would I need to backup and totally rebuild the array?
Many thanks and regards, Steve
