Yeah looks like for RAID you do need an SATA convertor..

The only convertors I've heard of are the Abit Serriel ones that come with Abit motherboards.

I'm not sure if you can buy them seperately at all and a I haven't seen any other SATA > IDE convertors for sale in NZ.

but goodluck finding one and lets us know if you do

Q: what mobo are you running
some of the on bord RAID is stuffed up on some of the mobo ?

i think there was a thread around here with info on it :confused:

if you do get them i would like to know where you got them from ;)

ffs $140 just for a converter hell no
i would be better off just to go buy a PCI raid card lol they only $80

yeah but it is a 3ware one ........ there cards are hell expensive as well.... simply because they are true hardware controllers unlike most of the promise cards and all the highpoint cards......
