ide and raid 0 config

[Illegal Amigo]

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to have IDE drives as well as SATA drives configured in raid 0. Does anybody know? If it's possible, would it be better to have the OS on the Raid 0 drive, because it would load faster? Thanks.

You can with different chipsets like the nForce3/4!
What you got? Loading would be faster in Raid 0, aye.

As a 4 channel ATA133 RAID adapter, the RocketRAID 454 supports up to 8 IDE hard disk drives, and provides multi level RAID support including RAID 5, 0, 1, 10 (1/0), and JBOD. The RocketRAID 454 is a high quality, cost-effective solution for your mass storage needs. The RocketRAID 454 can support multiple RAID arrays, and the 4 independent ATA133 channels provide parallel disk/array access. Due to the RocketRAID 454's RAID 5, 10 and 0 capabilities, data storage and retrieval is dramatically faster than single drive systems.
