I am using 2th Max 8KHA motherboard. Unfortunately it has only one FDD1 channel for ATA100 hard disc. Additionally it has 2 ATA33 IDE channels (altogether 3 channels). If I add an ATA100 controller then I shall have 3 ATA100 channels, having a waste (5 channels). Can TX2 ATA100 matches FDD1 in speed ? Could I use 2 hard discs having different specification and capacity ? >This makes I/O *very* >fast. I used Linux software-based RAID 1 to mirror my first few partitions >and left 2 un-mirrored partitions to hold data backups. Could you please explain a little bid in detail, to mirror first few partitions on each hard disc ? How many hard disc you install ? 4 hard discs to achieve RAID 0 + 1 ? B.R.
