    X45-DQ6 GSATA/IDE question...

    Thanks again for the last quick answer. While re-reading the manual, I came across one other thing I'd like to confirm. Can I use the GSATA headers to run a RAID pair, AND use the IDE headers to run my pair of DVD burners? Manual seems to say so, but just want to confirm...

    Thanks,
    Bill

    Sure can, I use The Gigbayte/J.Micron Ports for my OS RAID 0, but this is on P35

    It is different on P45 though. I do not think you can do your OS raid on there, and You may not even be able to do a "Controlled" RAID in P45 model. Please see here for more info on these ports >>>

      AHA! Found the answer, embarrassingly enough, in the manual, of all places... On page 86, under "C. Configuring a RAID array in RAID BIOS, they show a BIOS screen capture. Under the two HDD's they are configuring, it shows:

      ODD0 : DVDROM GO-D1600B

      Ergo, obviously, the thing WILL do both!

            Setup? Not nearly - LOL - I'm just in the DESIGN phase!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

            I've got a 'wish list' on a vendor's website that contains all the components for my next engineering workstation, as well as a series of Ubuntu MythTV PVR's. I'm trying to resolve the important "sorry, that's impossible" problems BEFORE I commit to buying the hardware. As I said previously, this quality of support will make me a Gigabyte fan forever... I'm doing this using a paradigm I learned back in the eighties for buying memory, back when we used chips instead of sticks, and the prices fluctuated like gold - buy when it's cheap, and stockpile for the future. Once my design is 'gelled' (nearly there), I'll watch prices, and try to buy the major components (including spares) when they're on sale.<o:p></o:p>

              WOW< now that is a reply!

              Ya, I am pretty not to young myself, so I do know what you mean for sure. I can remember witting programs in BASIC and Real DOS, and using 5 1/4 disks. Had to use 12 of them to install one F16 Flight simulator game I used to play all the time in the 80's

              Well good luck in your planning, it is always good to do so for sure! How long till you start you think?

              Good luck in all your planning, and always feel free to come by and ask anything you need to! We will for sure help if we can

                  Re: X45-DQ6 GSATA/IDE question...

                  I have also read (not confirmed) that the Asus ones work. I did find them in a few Australia places.

                  I also found these for you on ebay >>>

                  Buy, you may want to message them and ask for sure.

                  You may also be able to use a adapter like this? >>>

                  Have you contacted Gigabyte Directly to see if they sell them or can point you to someone who does?

                  Sorry I can't be of more direct help there other then supplying links you likely have already seen.

                  Maybe you could just re-wire the header you have to match up properly? I have done this several times with Case Audio's that did not match up

                  As for your second question, I could not find any at Newegg that have specifically 2 PCIe X1 slots, but these have one, plus another PCIe X4 or X16, which will run a Second PCIe X1 card. But depending on your other needs it may be of no help either >>>
                  Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-73PVM-S2H LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 7100 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
                  Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-EG43M-S2H LGA 775 Intel G43 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
                  Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-EG45M-DS2H LGA 775 Intel G45 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

                  So again there, I am likely no help either!!! Sorry man!

                  Yes, you can mention other vendors, no problem

                  And sure, link anyone who needs some help to here anytime you wish. I am no expert by far, nor do I work for Gigabyte. Just a Loyal User with no problems trying to help others.

                  Everyone needs help sometime, and there will always be "Those" users you mention. So either way, if you send them or they find there way here I try to help
