Can you explain the process of installing the SATA drives in RAID 0, what
you did?
There is actually alot more to it then this, first you have numerous BIOS
options as the nForce4 Ultra chipset (same as SLI) can use a combination of
IDE and SATA drives for RAID 0, RAID 1, or a combination of RAID 0+1.
You can enable and disable both IDE and SATA RAID in the BIOS, then you have
an option for "Serial ATA 1" enable/disable - then underneath you have SATA
1 Primary RAID enable/disable - SATA 1 Secondary RAID enable/disable.
What does that option do?, then you have "Serial ATA 2" enable/disable.
What does Serial ATA 1 and 2 mean?, why does it have Primary and Secondary
for both these items when all SATA ports are supposed be all be master.
You've got 4 SATA ports on the nForce chipset, are these set up into
channels or something?
Like Serial ATA 1 = SATA port 0 (Primary) SATA port 1 (secondary)
Like Serial ATA 2 = SATA port 3 (Primary) SATA port 4 (secondary)
See i'm confused with all the BIOS options, or does Serial ATA 1 refer to
the transfer speed, as in Serial ATA 1 = 150mbps, Serial ATA 2 = 300mbps??
You can see the confusion then, and the manual is usless to explain BIOS
options, and it says's nothing about advance BIOS options when hitting
Ctrl+F1.
