I am installing a SATA controller PCI 32bit@ 33/66 MHz (Adaptec 1210SA or highpoint 1520). &nbsp;The support information on the respective websites talk a lot about installing RAID management software and drivers. &nbsp;I already have management software and drivers installed for the MB chip in RAID1.<br />

Would appreciate feedback in relation to whether such an installation will interfere with existing RAID established on the MB. &nbsp;The manufacturers talk about BIOS installations in the setup manual for most PCI cards. &nbsp;There is nothing about incompatibility issues.

PCI SATA controller incompatibility issues with existing RAID miror?

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
