    Can I configure RAID like this?

    Hello All,

    I want to set up new discs in my 9280. I am using this for video editing.
    I want to use three discs, one for the boot and programs, and two for the files.
    I would like to set up the RAID so that the system boots to a single 120GB SSD, and then there are two 500GB 7200 RPM drives as a striped array for the video files.
    Is this possible to do?

    (I suppose I could use ACHI rather than RAID and boot to the SSD and software RAID the two 500GB discs in Win7x64 but would rather do it in hardware.)

    I have my desktop's Intel RAID set up like this, but it's four years old, so maybe things have changed....

    Cheers

    Mark
