I have an Asus P4P800-E board which has four SATA ports. Two are on a Promise Raid controller and the other two are on an Intel Chip.
I currently have Two drives striped on the Intel Raid controller. I want to add a third drive to this PC as a media dump for a few things.
Can i connect a new SINGLE sata drive to the promise controller or can taht ONLY be used for Raid arrays?
I know the Intel chip will handle single drives but not sure f the promse controller is RAID ONLY??
Ideally i guess i would move my current array over to the promise controller and run the single drive on the intel chip, but i cant move the current array over to the other controller without loosing my data can i?
