1st Time Setting Up RAID- Need Advice

[2therock]

On my Q6600/ GA-EP35-DS3R system I have a single 750GB SATA HDD.
I want to add two more 750GB HDDs' in a RAID1 config.

I have been reading the manual and there is no mention of having both RAID and NON-RAID in a system.
I do Digital SLR photography and want to run as usual on the single HDD and use the dual 750GBs' as storage backup.

There are two purple G-SATA connectors on the board and I take it this will be my connection points.

Is there a sticky to guide me through this setup?

I have a similar setup, but on raid0
you don't have to use those purple sockets, any of those yellow ones will work, just connect your two new sata HDDs and in BIOS, in integrated peripherals page activate RAID,
then all you need to do is pressing Ctrl+I during boot (it will ask you to press Ctrl+I to enter RAID menu)

in RAID menu, you can assign which HDDs to be part of the RAID array, it's very simple and straight forward process
