Hi,

My motherboard MSI K8T NEO FISR has 2 raid controllers.

Currently my setup is a striped array (RAID 0) with 2 SATA drivers
connected to the Promise PDC20378.

Now I understand the VIA controller is connected to the south bridge so
has access to more bus bandwidth. Is this true?

If so, san I just swap the drives from to the other connectors,
configure the array and everything is fine again?

Thanks,

Maarten
