Im just wondering or speculating how exactly RAID works, I know that there are 2 additional IDE ports for RAID and the rest of the 2 normally on the Motherboard by default, Do the other controllers on the motherboard work as Normal? , for example could you put 4 CD rom drives i.e Optical drives , whether DVD or CD RW . and then connect 4 drives in RAID 0 stripping by connecting them on the RAID connectors??
