#1 Post by masterus » Mon Jun 16, 2008 3:31 pm

Hi,

I found that CF-to-IDE-DUAL 2,5":)
Tomorow will add pics showing that 2 CF cards are visible in BIOS as separate HDDs :)
So , my question is: Is is now possibile to set up RAID 0 :?:
In my theorey YES , but cant be sure that.
Thanx for your answers.

Is it really going to work fast when they're both sharing the same IDE channel?

could be, because the IDE channel has relatavely high transfer rate upper limits. I guess the real problem is if these CFs are really capable of high transfer rates themselves.

As far as I know from well informed sources, the W700 will have 2 hard drives that can be set up in a RAID configuration. Similar to HP's workstation notebooks...
