Can I setup RAID 0 on my old HP Pavilion a6518f? I cannot find anything in the BIOS. CPU: AMD Athlon (tm) 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 5400+ CP{U Speed: 2800MHz Core Version: V6.0 Current BIOS: 5.17 04/23/2008 Model Number: ALONPAV Product Number: D5468AT-ABA Is there a newer BIOS? I cannot find any Thanks

Greetings,

Welcome to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

I can't find your PC using  any of the system IDs you have provided.

So it is not possible to answer the question.

My question to you is; why do you want to do RAID on a consumer PC?

RAID 0 is used for speed and does not provide fault tolerance or redundancy. 

Install a SATA SSD, if possible, to improve storage device reads and writes.

I understand your answer. If my PC is not identifiable through HP or other means, it is hard to find any BIOS update that would permit RAID. This PC is my fun PC to play with and experiment with. I upgraded my main PC two RAID 0 SSDs with larger size (GB) and I was going to use the old two SSDs in RAID 0 in my old HP PC. I guess this is not going to happen. Thanks anyway for your effort.

Hi,

You're very welcome.

I guess HP has retired your product.
