Re: Question about ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe Motherboard

This quote from

There is support for up to 10 IDE drives (4 SATA, 4 IDE, 2 ATA133), RAID
0/1, on the P4C800 Deluxe, but ASUS went in for not using the ICH5-R due to
its current limitations as far as RAID array options and chose to use the
Promise 20378 RAID controller which supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and
decided enthusiasts would like the Multiple RAID options of the Promise in
lieu of Intel's ICH5-R Mode 0 only features. Multi-RAID enables users to
build a RAID array with any 2, 3 or 4 of the ports. With this unique
multi-RAID function, RAID 0 and RAID 1 array can co-exist at the same time.
This is a pretty good feature as you can now have the speed of MODE 0 or
Striped ARRAY with the continuous backup features of the MODE 1 or Mirroring
ARRAY for maximum flexibility.
