yes; them being listed as SCSI is just fine


you must make a choice between buying two adapters that will allow you to convert your sata data plug to an IDE plug, then connect both drives on the Primary IDE connector for Raid, they wont need to run in a raid configuration in this manner

or / if you connect these two drives to the sata raid plugs on the motherboard, they will be FORCED to configure a raid array ????

which is more appealing to you ???????

personally I would go with independant drives

if you have an IDE drive kicking around, connect it to the primary raid IDE port which looks like any other IDE drive port, except its down low and at the bottom of the motherboard ??????

then see if you are able to "see" whats in the drive contents when connected like this ????????????
