Hardware RAID or Software RAID?
I have the x58 motherboard, with ICH10 chipset. When I tried doing a RAID 0 using the hardware, my old 10.5.6 install DVD could not detect the array and showed up as 2 separate disks.
Snow, on the other hand, has integrated support for my chipset, (no kexts required), So I want to ask, If i created a hardware raid, would I be able to use it with Snow if I install snow leopard on from another HDD?
(OSX86 HDD)--(install within Snow)---> (Raid 0 [2x 1tb HDD's])
I'm just asking because I know the 10.5.6 DVD didn't have support for my ICH10 so it wasn't maybe detecting it, but If i do Hardware RAID now, will Snow detect it and let me use it?
(If all fails, I will just use Software)
OS: Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.6.2 (10C540) | Vanilla Kernel | 64 bit Kernel | EFI64
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 @ 3.6 GHz
GPU: 2x SLI Dual GTX 260 (OpenCL working)(QE+CI)
RAM: 6GB DDR3 1600MHz 7-7-7-20

MOBO: MSI X58 Platinum SLI (Intel ICH10)
CASE: Haf 932 Full Tower Case + Red Cathodes
