Hi Guys,
I have a GA-EX58-UD3R (rev. 1.6) (BIOS FK) and am wanting Help...
I've searched this and other forums and had little luck, Is there a Best Practice Guide to RAID Configuration for the GA-EX58-UD3R Mobo?
I currently have 1 SSD and 3 different sized SATA drives, I am looking at buying 3 of these Toshiba DT01ACA300 3TB and want to set them in RAID 10...
Any help appreciated
Thanks in advance :)

Hi,
RAID 10 (essentially 0+1) requires 4 disks. If you are already buying 3 new disks, I'd buy a 4th so all disks in the array will be the same age/spec. Since all hardware fails, the RAID10 should not be relied upon for 100% data protection. Please back up the data on this array regularly. Enough said. ;) Raid 5 (3 disks) or with one hot spare is another alternative.
