I am building a computer, and on the motherboard it will have 6 sata3.0gb headers with raid 0. I want to have my main drive sata 3.0gb, but i do not want it to be apart of the raid. Will it appear in the raid? Can i choose what drives to be in the raid? Would i select what partition to be in the raid?
Thanks.

i do not recommend using raid for workstations or even servers.
my previous company used raid on the main server and it crashed and the technician came and told the company that the server has to be sent overseas for repair and it takes more than 1 week or 1 month if i am not wrong to try to recover the lost data.
you should focus on the cpu chip speed, memory capacity such as more than 2 gb ram, separate servers for different groups of users, sata hard drive formatted as ntfs or fat32, cpu fans, accelerated ports device, external usb hard drives etc.
recovering from raid crash(es) is not easy from what i encountered.
if you insist on using raid, you may be bringing problems to the technicians unless there is a better way to recover crashed raid hard drive in the near of far future.
good luck!
