Hey all,
Not sure if this is a general hardware question so mods move as appropriate.
I'm setting up a storage rig, I have 4 SATA hard drives of different sizes and different RPM speeds, ranging from 7200 and 10000. (sizes: 300gb, 200gb, 74gb, 200gb)
My motherboard has 2 onboard sata plugs.
I want to set up all these hard drives as one large joined partition.
Questions:
1. Am I right in thinking that it is RAID0 to join hard drives together as one?
2. If I use a PCI-SATA RAID controller to connect the other 2 hard drives, is it still possible to join these with the onboard SATA controller?
So basically, can I have one joined drive which is 774gb?
