I've just bought a new motherboard which supports RAID. It only has two IDE headers though. I need to connect the two 80gig Maxtor HDs, and a DVDrom drive to this MB.
I couldn't find any benchmakrs for it, but what would the performence drop be if I use a RAID 1 on Master and Slave on the same IDE header?
I know it would be slower then if I stuck both maxtors on thier own cables, but then there wouldn't be a header left over for the CD/DVD drive.
Does anyone have links to benchmakrs comparing same-ide-cable and multiple-IDE-cable RAID 1 performance? Thank you very much!
