I think i've found some good adaptors, i even saw them for 15€ each on the net.
They are made by abit and are called "SERILLEL 2"
Oh, and i btw read that most (exept for 3 or so) native hard-disks are in fact just ide's with the converter built in.
so it' s no use selling that HD, and then buying two with the converters built in when i can buy the convertor apart.
They might prove usefull these converters when i buy bigger hd's, or transfer these disks to a newer pc and so on and so forth.

i still think you can find a pci raid controller for less then 30€ 2ndhand
(bought mine for 15 €)

I also use that serillel, was with my abit board. Maybe you should look around for people who bought a abit board resently. Ans ask them to sell there convertor?

edit: 1 problem, if you got a small case, the hdd with the convertor won't fit in every hdd place. I had some problems in my wavemaster, the serillel was pushing to a capacitor.

hehe, my case is huge, and very expensive.
It's one of those heavy chieftecs, WITH a case window

But thanks for the tip Kristof, i'll leave a message in the bargain forum

New question guys:
how easy is it to take all your existing data (everything, not just my documents, i want an exact copy of my current hard drive) on to the raid setup.
read my first post again: everything is on my 80gig disk wich will be used in the raid setup...

building a RAID array SCRATCHES both disks before they can be used. Either write your data to DVD/CD's or lent a 3rd HD for temporary storage.

If you are planning on building on running a RAID-0 array (160GB in total), you might as well delete all the data on your 80GB right away, since the risk of data corruption and data loss is VERY high with RAID-0

laten we verder gaan in het nederlands, dan versta ik misschien de belangrijke stukken.
zou het zo gaan:

stel dat ik nog ergens anders een tijdelijke lege harde schijf (ide) vind,
is het hele gebeuren dan zo simpel als:
1- gewoon alle mapjes op mijn c-schijf op de tijdelijke disk zetten (tijdelijke schijf is A, degene die in raid komen B en C)
2- van B en C een raid setup maken
3- Booten van A, en alle data naar B+C copieren
4-A eruit halen, en aan het bios duidelijk maken dat het niet van ide maar van sata-raid chip moet booten?

26th July 2004, 10:52

wel programma gebruiken als ghost of drive image.
als je gewoon de mappen kopieert ga je verbrogen en system mappen niet kunnen kopieren, + de nieuwe drive is geen boot drive.

En de kans op data corruptie is slecht 2 keer zo groot bij een RAID array.
't is nie dat ge uw schijven in de leuvense stoof ga plaatsen he.

use ghost/powerquest or other drive imaging software to copy the contents of your systemdrive on the temp. drive. (make a bootable floppy with the imaging soft. on it)

create the raid array with your 2 new disks. then reghost that array with the contents of the temp. drive
done. you should not even have to enter your BIOS
