Best is to setup both drives as Master and connect them each on a seperate
80-pins cable to the two RAID connectors.

OK, thanks. I will go with the dual Master option.

Now, must i format my HD before i install it onto the RAID card, or after?

Thanks again!

For a fresh installation or usage, (no files already on the drives)
you always define the array first, in the raid controller's bios that
appears right after POST.

After defining the array the drive(s) (array) is partitioned, then
formatted.
