codeblue2k Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I have 2 sets or identical drives... 2 - 150gb WD's that I want to put my OS on and 2 - 620gb WD's that I want to use as my multimedia drive. My mother board does RAID 0,1,5 and 10... now I noticed in Disk Utility I can set up Raid also. For my OSx86 MAC whats the best way to setup the Raid, thru the Mobo or thru Disk Utility?

FrankOS_Scripting Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) Hardware raid 0 via a PCI card controller. Works for a lot of people. Make a bit of search and you will find it EDIT: Sorry it's not hardware, it's software sorry :censored2: Edited August 4, 2008 by FrankOS_Scripting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make a bit of search and you will find it I did do a search and the first 4 or 5 pages were all related to changing SATA/RAID settings to ACHI during an install. Right now my 2 - 150gb drives are setup for a raid thru the Mobo and for some reason OSx sees the two seperate drives not just then Raid set.

FrankOS_Scripting Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Yes, it's normal cause OS X86 don't support native Raid out of the box. The only thing I see is an old topics which I post and the guys had a problem to dual boot with OS X and Vista on stripped raid. And that's from here, anotherguy said to me you for having RAID, you use the Apple software. Here is the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to set it up thru Disk Utility to get it to properly see the drives as a set, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
