I’m currently running 2 WD 500gb drives in RAID 0 for my Windows Server 2008 machine off the onboard ICH10R RAID chipset. I want to add a RocketRAID 2300 card with 4 1tb drives attached to it in a RAID 5 array (data only, no OS) and also continue to run my RAID 0 off the ICH10R chipset for the OS. I’ve read mixed reports on whether or not this will work so I need some clarification. I’ve seen some reports that the ICH10R RAID configuration screen disappears once the RocketRAID card is installed rendering their onboard RAID array useless. I’ve also seen a few others say they’ve had no problems but the information I’ve read has been very vague. I just want to make sure before I purchase the RocketRAID 2300 that it and the ICH10R can work together in the same system. I attempted to contact HighPoint with this question but their online support isn’t working and I can’t find a valid working number for them so I figured I would ask here as someone surely has run into this issue before.
Thanks!
