Was reading about the Integrated Intel® RAID Technology for the 875 (and others) chipset. Has anyone actually seen this in person (most customers of mine aren't looking at the higher end machines so probably won't see one for a while).
Does the Serial ATA Controller just act like a regular IDE controller until there are Two SATA drives on the controller? Are you given 3 options, two seperate drives, Raid 0 or Raid 1.
And the big question if anyone would know this, Obviously if I move one drive of a RAID 0 set, I will break the set pretty much leaving you with nothing. But if I move both drives from one machine to an identical machine would I lose data or would it be like in the old days just moving a drive from machine to machine the data would be fine (assuming the machine was capable of reading the IDE type drive)
The HT technology of the 3.0GHz would supposedly make my MPEG-2 encoding quicker since TMPGEncPlus supports HT, the 800MHz Front Side Bus and 400MHz DDR plus a Raid 0 drive system would speed things up as well. I'm actually fine with my 1 year old 2.0GHz, 400MHz Front Side Bus, PC 2100 SDRAM, ATA/100 system, but you have to have something to aspire to :D
