I have 2 new ones like it in transit so I guess I'll see what happens with tem. I'll post my results and findings so maybe someone else can benefit from my...

    Storage Solutions Building new server w/ raid 1

    I see some mobo's that say "supports Raid" but doesn't indicate levels. How do I know for sure? On the one's that do, is there anything special required of the hard drive other than having 2. My understanding is if the mobo bios has the settings to configure, then the mobo supports it and it...
