Πιστεύω ότι ο ελεγκτής βλέπει μόνο 2 δίσκους συνολικά αλλά ένα σε κάθε καλωδιοταινία="κανάλι".

Έτσι πρέπει να συνδέσεις τους δύο δίσκους στα δύο "κανάλια"=επαφές του controller, αν το άλλο κανάλι είναι serial ata - δεν ξέρω ποιον ακριβώς controller έχει η μητρική σου - τότε θες serial ata δίσκο.

 

Διάβασε ΚΑΛΑ το manual της μητρικής ή του controller σου.

 

Ποτέ - για προσωπική χρήση - δεν χρησιμοποιώ ενσωματωμένους σε μητρική ελεγκτές αλλά έχω πάντα κάποιον σε ανεξάρτητη pci υποδοχή.

O Master σου πρέπει να μην έχει jumperακι ενώ ο slave πρέπει να έχει στην θέση slave.

 

Οι Western Digital έχουν άλλη θέση για τον Master (Single) δηλαδή να είναι μόνος του ο δίσκος πάνω στο κανάλι (το jumperaki στην θέση 3 - στην μεση δλδ) και άλλη θέση για Master (with Slave present) στην οποία περίπτωση ο Master δεν πρέπει να έχει καθόλου jumperακι.

 

Έτσι θα τους δεί και τους δύο.

5.4.1. Install the hard disks

 

The PDC20376 chipset supports Ultra ATA/133/100/66 hard disk drives.

For optimal perfomance install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.

 

Μετά εξηγεί το RAID 0 (striping) και το RAID 1 (mirroring) και καταλήγει με το απίθανο για εσάς - αλλά αναμενόμενο για εμένα - σχόλιο.

 

The chipset supports RAID 0 or RAID 1 for master drives only.

The promise PDC20376 chipset only supports one Master HDD on the PRI_RAID1 connector. HDDs set to SLAVE mode and ATAPI devices are not supported.

 

Παρακαλώ όπως διαβάζετε το εγχειρίδιο της μητρικής και μη γράφετε ο,τι θέλετε.. έτσι - τελικά - δεν θα χάνεται ο χρόνος σας.

 

Φιλικότατα, Κώστας.

[wintech2003]

Και πως κάνεις RAID με ενα δίσκο?

 

Υπάρχει και SEC_RAID1 όπου πρέπει να βάλεις τον άλλο σου δίσκο και εκεί Master?...

 

Καλά πολύ κουλο...

[SATELLITE2SATELLITE]

Κάνεις array με δύο sata δίσκους ή με ένα ide και ένα sata.

Ό,τι πληρώνουμε αυτό παίρνουμε!!

Έτσι δεν ασχολούμαι με controllers που έχουν lite bios, δηλαδή κάνουν τα μισά απο όσα μπορεί το chipset που έχουν και αγοράζω "φθηνές" μητρικές.

 

 

Cost-Effective, High-Performance Serial ATA RAID 5 Solution from the Worldwide Leader in ATA RAID Technology

Four-port Serial ATA RAID controller with 1.5Gbps per channel

32-Bit/66MHz PCI 2.2 interface

Support for RAID level 0, 1, 10, 5 and JBOD

Online array expansion and RAID level migration to add capacity on the fly

Supports hot swap of failed drives

Automatic/manual rebuild of hot spare drive

PerfectRAID technology for robust error handling and recovery of fatal, media and disk errors

Variable stripe block size support enables optimization for diverse application requirements

Supports up to 256MB of SDRAM memory

Seamless upgrade to Promise's external storage solutions

 

The FastTrak S150 SX4 Overview

The FastTrak S150 SX4 Serial ATA RAID PCI adapter delivers industry-leading RAID 5 performance at an unprecedented performance-to-price ratio. For companies running popular applications like web services, file/email servers, audio/video streaming and nearline storage, the FastTrak S150 SX4 opens the world of professional RAID 5 performance and data protection and combines it with cost-effective Serial ATA (SATA) drives for the ultimate internal storage solution. Based on OEM-proven RAID 5 technology, the FastTrak S150 SX4 competes with SCSI RAID 5 controllers -- at one-half to one-third of the price. RAID 5 storage protection is no longer the privilege of budget-rich IT departments.

 

Maximize RAID Performance with Serial ATA Drives

The FastTrak S150 SX4 is designed for RAID-perfect Serial ATA. Serial ATA is an evolutionary replacement for the Parallel ATA physical storage interface. The Serial ATA standard incorporates highly anticipated features that are ideally suited for ATA RAID use such as:

 

Thinner Serial ATA cables up to one meter long to provide flexible routing and better airflow

Simpler drive configuration, jumper setting is no longer required during installation

Point-to-point configuration to support one drive per cable and achieve performance scalability

Higher availability with hot pluggable drive support

Enhanced reliability with CRC error checking on all protocol phases

Promise Hardware-Assisted RAID 5 Architecture

RAID 5 implementation involves striping data and parity information (XOR) across the storage array. Since those parity calculations are so processor-intensive, RAID 5 controllers traditionally require a dedicated CPU to perform the XOR calculations and manage the array. Instead of adding a costly CPU to the controller, Promise's FastTrak S150 SX4 controller uses an integrated XOR engine for parity calculations, delivering extraordinary performance at a dramatically lower price. This approach takes advantage of today's ultra-powerful PC CPUs to manage the array and outperform traditional RAID 5 solutions. The FastTrak S150 SX4 sets a new standard for RAID 5 controllers.

 

Sophisticated Array Monitoring Tools

Promise Array Management (PAM) software offers professional management tools in a simple-to-use, straightforward format. Array configurations, management and monitoring features are available via the windows based management and can be access locally or via the TCP/IP network remotely. Moreover, the FastTrak SX family supports industry standard SNMP so third party management application integration is simplified.
