Hi All
 I have a question about this mobo GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard I got 3 identical sata hdd's that I wanted to put in a raid mode that would make them all duplicate hdds. So I build the computer with that mobo and those hdd's. But now, I need to know if the mobo even does raid at all  I'm not sure If anybody can help me please do  Thanks Elijah

Err, don't you only need 2 drives for mirrored RAID.

I though It didn't matter how many hdd's you had
But I guess if I can only have 2 then that'll work also. But how do I set up raid? |

Yeah, it does, that's why it's called mirrored raid.
Why would you want three anyway as it's unlikely two will fail at the same time. I think you will be fine but have a look on the Gigabyte website, I'm sure it will say. You set it up buy configuring the settings in the BIOS. |

Well the mobo doesn't support raid
 So I need to get a raid controller Ya see, I haven't ever set up raid before so I need a bit of help  I have 2 of these hdd's: Western Digital Caviar RE WD1600YS 160GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive And I would like to put them in a mirror raid mode which is I guess raid 1 >http://www.bestpricecomputers.co.uk/glossary/raid-1.htm So what kind of raid controller should I get If somebody could find a low cost one on newegg.com that would be able to do mirror raid that'd be great  Thanks for any help Elijah
