Title: using Conley SoftRAID with a SIL3112 32bit 33mhz sata card (seritek 1s2)
Post by: supernova777 on May 11, 2015, 02:32:24 PM

has anyone used softraid to make a Bootable disk partition from 2 seperate disk on a sata150 controller to achieve near the max of 133mb/s??  ;D

softRAID only works with PCI device controllers.. but the sil3112 is seen as a SCSI controller...

i havent tried this yet.. but i think its possible?
what im not sure of is if the drive would still be bootable
in this configuration with this software.

There is no problem with this.
SATA seems to be an emulated SCSI  ¿?  in Mac Os 9 and some others OS.

 :-X

i tried to create a raid with 2 identical brand new seagate 80gb sata3 spec drives
and it woudl not let me format/initialize the disk after making the stripe array with conley softraid..

perhaps i did something wrong??
is this program unstable?
i see it was written for mac os 8 not 9
