Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - I need to replace my RAID SATA PCI Controller card with a non-RAID Card

This is what I found in the troubleshooting section of the manual:

Drive-Related Issues

Drives cannot be formed into an array?

The SATAII150 Controller supports Serial ATA disk drives but it does not
support RAID. Therefore you cannot build a RAID array with this product.

I guess this card is ok for my purpose :)

What would happen if I did a "Delete Array" and dumped Array 2 (the 2nd HDD)?
When I created the 2nd Array, it never asked me to expand the image like it did when I selected a Single>Stripe Array type. When I got that question, I just aborted that type of Array setup and stayed with the 1 Drive Stripe Array (1+0) In everything that I did to install the 2nd HDD, I never proceeded with any options to combine data on the 2 HDD's.
