Re: RAID SETUP

IDE 1 AND 2 ARE BLUE IN COLOR,
IDE 3 AND 4 ARE ORANGE IN COLOR
I have dl'd the latest BIOS and raid controller and flashed the mobo.
Also, should I use identical hdd's, or does it not matter...
Thanks in advance for your help..

Put one hard drive on IDE 3 and one hard drive on IDE 4, those are the two RAID headers. If you want the best bang for your buck, you should use identical hard drives.
