Mike W Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Does it matter which two SATA ports to use when setting up Raid 0 on NF4 Ultra-D? 1, 2, 3, or 4??? Just a rookie question for you pros. Thanks, Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzox Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 it doesn't matter, I guess. Setting up in BIOS is easier if you run with 1 and 2 (or 3 and 4) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gudodayn Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 It does not matter. Just make sure you've enabled the raid option in the BIOS for the SATA ports that the drive are on. Once setup and installed with the OS, you can even swapped the drives to different SATA ports (as long as its enabled in the BIOS) and it wouldn't affect the data or the raid configuration.

Thanks a lot. This is exactly what I just did as in a new MB after a failure. I couldn't remember which ports the raid config was set up in, and was hoping I didn't have to try every combo!!!!! For some reason it won't finish the boot though. Running memtest right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gudodayn Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 So you're saying that your old motherboard konked out and you got those 2 raid configured drives on your new motherboard?? If this is the case, are the two raid controllers the same (old Vs new). I am not sure if it will still work if the raid controller chip is different as I have never tried it before.

Fight Game Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 I am not sure if it will still work if the raid controller chip is different as I have never tried it before. I have tried it and it didn't work for me. One of my older mb with onboard raid quit on me, and I had to buy another mb (found a used one for $25) to get my data back from the raid array.

I got it to boot finally, BUT only with either stick of memory in slot 2. It has issues with both in slots 2 and 4, as in won't boot and locks up in test 8 of memtest. Could this be a bios thing???????? :confused: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike W Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Yep..... It's booting up and working fine now. Another fine example of not doing what is written. After a flash of the bios to the latest version ---as it says in numerous places in the forum---, it boots fine with both sticks in dual channel slot 2 and 4. I have always been of the mind set that if it aint broke don't fix it regarding bios versions, but I might change that now that I'm trying to learn overclocking. I don't think being lazy and overclocking mix. :shake: Thanks to all for the valuable forum info! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
