Hi there,<br />
<br />
I have an ASUS P5AD2-E motherboard with onboard Silicon Image Sil3114R SATA Raid controller which has 4 SATA connectors available. &nbsp;If I have two discs in a mirrored raid using 2 of these SATA ports, can I use the other 2 ports for normal non-RAID SATA HDD connections?<br />
<br />
Many thanks.

Silicon Image Sil3114R SATA Raid controller - can I mix RAID and Non-RAID?

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
