Hi again just thought i drop by with a silly question for the pros here,
I'm at the moment building my PC and iv come to a small but annoying question, can I run a 3gbps hard drive of a 6gpbs connection reason I ask this is because I want to run a RAID0 system and a 1tb backup drive but my mother board only supports 2 x 3gbps and 6 x 6gbps. All hard drives are 3gbps.

my setup consists of

cooler-master haf 932
AMD phenom II 3.2
Gigabyte ga-890gpa-ud3
8GB of ddr3 ocz ram
coolermaster v10 cooler
Sapphire Radeon Hd 4890 x2 in crossfire
HDD need to sort first.

so If anyone got any answer im your student

Thanks again
Jon

you could stripe it with stupid fast drives in RAID0 on the 6gbps and put your 1TB storage on the 3gbps.
