I have a PERC 5/i RAID controller currently hosting two drives in RAID 1. I am about to add a third drive in "direct" mode, just a normal physical volume.
Would performance be better if the drive is attached to the motherboard's controller or to the RAID...

Check out the performance characteristics of the card and determine how the addiional drive.

Is there any support in Windows 7 - or through third-party software - to easily combine multiple physical drives into a single, large virtual drive?

I realise the usage of the disks will affect the performance, I’m just looking for a general estimation.

In the future, I will buy more drives and make use of the drobo's failure protection, but for now I have just one drive in it. Is there a way to get it to let me use the whole disk instead of only half? I'm using it as a backup of other disks, so I don...

I've watched a few youtube videos demonstrating the so called click of death and they all show a hard drive that 'clicks' nonstop. My hard drive will occasionally make a clicking sound, but it happens sporadically and it's usually just one click. Does...

If I have a single drive, and want to get an exact match for it, how would I go about RAID0ing it? Using Win7.
