2 SATA Drives?????
I'm trying to figure out how to use the second drive for other than just
backing up data... will this work for my second drive and how best do you do it with Vista: I don't have a drive for just the pagefile, but I do have a second physical drive (a RAID 1 array) that's used as a secondary data drive. I don't access it frequently, so I put the pagefile on that drive. You can specify the drive on which the pagefile resides by going to Control Panel | System | Advanced (tab) | Performance settings. Click the Change button in the Virtual Memory section. Thanks Op

If you have 2 drives in a Raid 1 you shouldn't be able to independently
access the second drive, it's there to mirror the first drive. "OpeXp" wrote in message ...

Hey,
So far they not in any kind of Raid conf... The drives are set up independently... I'm just trying to figure out what would be my best configuration.

You said, and I quote "but I do have a second physical drive (a RAID 1
array) that's used as a secondary data drive" You can't have a RAID 1 and have both drives accessible, you need to clarify what you have going on there, do you have a mirrored array or not?

I don't have a mirrored array...
I had read that if you have your page file on a second drive it can speed up your system. That's what I was wondering if I should do.

It probably won't make an improvement you would notice.

Hi, If you dont want to mirror the drives then use 2 arrays.
1 for each drive. Have fun -- --------------------------------- --- -- - Posted with NewsLeecher v3.8 Final Web @ http://www.newsleecher.com/?usenet ------------------- ----- ---- -- -
