Question concerning mobo

chanchan · Jun 24, 2005

Howdy all. I'm currently building my first system and have come across a question I thought I'd ask you guys. I'm planning on getting a Asus P5WD2 Premium motherboard, but after checking the specs for it I notice it doesn't show IDE RAID support just SATA I/II RAID support. I notice that the Asus P5ND2-SLI Deluxe motherboard lists both IDE and SATA I/II support. Maybe it's just me and I'm reading the specs wrong, but does this mobo (P5WD2 Premium) not have IDE RAID support? Thanks for any help.

Storage/ RAID Intel ICH7R South Bridge:
*1 x UltraDMA 100/66/33
*4 x Serial ATA I/II 3.0Gb/s with Intel Matrix Storage Technology with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 support

Silicon Image 3132 SATA controller:
*1 x Internal Serial ATA I/II
*1 x External Serial ATA

ITE IDE controller:
* 2 x UltraDMA 133/100/66

Looking at this then NO it doesnt support IDE RAID, but does support 2 types of RAID controller the Intel Matrix Raid ( which I'm actually wanting to try myself ) and Silicon Image RAID controller.
