Hi Guys

I have a MSI P6N Motherboard (manual here) http://static.highspeedbackbone.net/pdf/MSI_P6NDiamond_Manual.pdf . This board has two raid sata connectors and I'm wondering if I could add HDD's using these ports. I'm not familiar with raid connections and searching online has not thrown up anything helpful. Any advice would be appreciated.

The following is extracted from the manual

3. The SATA6 and SATA7 are controlled by silicon image chip that supports

RAID 0/ RAID 1 mode by hardware setting. Please refer to the following

JP1/JP2 illustration for details.

Do you think it HDD's can be attached here?

Thanks in advance

it would appear not. Found on Page 2-14 of your manual link

 

2. Note that SATA6 and SATA7 support RAID function only. Please install two hard drives to SATA7 and SATA6 for RAID function.

3. The SATA6 and SATA7 are controlled by silicon image chip that supports  RAID 0/ RAID 1 mode by hardware setting. Please refer to the following JP1/JP2 illustration for details.

 

PS. Let me qualify that answer... you cannot add two drives and have them be used as JBOD. You CAN add two disks, create a RAID 0 or RAID 1 volume in hardware (jumpers) and that volume *might* be visible to unRaid.

 

Thank you interwebtech

I will try that and post how it went
