RAID - Can I have two drives in RAID, and the other two standalone?

[Panarchy]

Hello

I have two drives;

1. Maxtor (SATA) 500GB
2. WesternDigital (IDE) 400GB

And am planning on buying two more drives (unsure of brand yet);

1. (SATA) 500GB
2. (SATA) 500GB

I am planning on making the two new drives RAID 0.

But I want to keep my other two drives seperate from the RAID setup. In other words, I don't want them in RAID. I only want my new drives in RAID.

Please tell me if this is possible (I have an ASUS P5K-E WiFi motherboard).

Thanks in advance,

Panarchy

Found out that I can.

Yes you can. Simply add the 2 to the raid controller software as raid 0 and leave the others as raid 1. This might be incorrect but I'm fairly sure I got the numbers right.

You can use a software raid if you have no controller, but it will be slower.

Okay, thanks...

(Dunno why I got an email today for this topic?)

There was a post that was deleted.
