scorpioserve Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I have bought a Gigabyte X58A-UD5 mobo rev2.0 What I would like to know. I would like 5 hard drives in this setup, 1 x 500gig, for the system, Seagate Constellation 7200rpm 4 x 2TB for storage, all Seagate Barracuda XT 7200rpm I would like to mirror raid 2 x 2TB drives and then the other 2 x 2TB drives, so in the end I should have 4TB of storage, and a mirror of the entire lot. Must I use the 4 white sata connectors for this, and then just set it all the raid volumes through the OS, or is there a better way to go about this. Please advise me on this.

Please advise me on this. i would like to know the exact same. i have same mobo, and am thinking about getting the same hdds. Are the Barra XTs the best to go for? I will be using my hack for video editing. thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/251067-gigabyte-sata-ports/#findComment-1663092 Share on other sites More sharing options...
