    Can you use a single sata drive in raid 1? Just using it as a sata controller?

    Thats exactlly what i meant to say(lol). Just couldn't get it out right. I just
    built a new comp. The motherboard is an Asus k8n-e. It has 4 raid controllers on it, and i was just wondering if i could use 1 of those for a single drive. Thanks for the reply.

    If i could possibly use that as such, how would i get the device manager to see the drive? I have all the drivers installed.

    Any raid setup requires a minimum of 2 drives.
