Dear Paul

I just bought the P5GD2 .
I also bought 2 sata 160GB Maxtor and I have one PATA 250GB Maxtor.
I a also have to connect 2 x DVD/CD drives to the PRI- IDE 1 connector ( I
presume )
How and where to plug the HDDs to the MB .??

Thanks

Roland

From the web page:

Intel ® ICH6R South Bridge:
1 x UltraDMA 100/66/33 --- 2 DVD/CD
4 x Serial ATA with IntelR Matrix Storage --- 2 sata 160GB
Technology with RAID 0, 1 support

Silicon Image ® RAID controller:
4 x Serial ATA with JBOD, RAID 0, 1, 10, 5
(RAID 5 software patch available, no WHQL)

ITE IDE RAID controller:
2 x UltraDMA 133/100/66 --- 1 pata 250GB
JBOD, RAID 0, 1, 0+1 support

According to the datasheet for the ITE8212, it supports
ATAPI devices, so in theory the DVD/CD could go on the
ITE8212 connectors. But the configuration above should
offer the least issues.

HTH,
Paul

Thanks Paul

Much obliged !
