P4C800-Deluxe & Intel RAID 0
Is it possible to set up 2 SATA drives as RAID 0 on the intel SATA ports on
this mobo running XP Pro? If so how do I do it? The mobo manual is very confusing and it appears to allow RAID only through the Promise RAID controller - which gives very poor I/O rates under my system. |

If you only have the P4C800 Deluxe and not the P4C800-E Deluxe then you
simply do not have the option of using Intel RAID as it isn't included. The "E" version of the board is the one with this facility. "Bob S" wrote in message ...

Yes I installed the Promise RAID drivers in the F6 option when loading XP
Pro. I wanted to use the intel RAID options as the I/O through put is said to run at full SATA speed rather than the Promise which only runs at 133 max. Did you managed to get the intel RAID working on this board? Thanks Bob "Buzby" wrote in message ...

How many does yours have? Mine (non E) has 4 in total not 6? Cheers Shelton. Yes I installed the Promise RAID drivers in the F6 option when loading XP Pro.

You mentioned that the Promise controller only runs at 133 max, the fact
remains that none of the Hard Drives you could possibly be connecting can ever reach the 133 max transfer rate anyway. "Bob S" wrote in message ...
