Hi All,

I've recently built a system with the Asus P5E-VM HDMI at it's core. I'd like to run a RAID array and a single APPS/OS drive...

BUT...

The BIOS only allows me to set the drives to one mode only:

1 - IDE
2 - AHCI
3 - RAID

If I RAID 2 drives (data drives) will the bios allow me to use a further 3rd drive for my OS/APPS?? Note - the board has 1 RAID controller only.

If my propsed set up is a no no, what PCI RAID controller would you recommend (it must be PCI i.e. not PCI-e or PCIx1).

Thanks
