But, in all of the installs i bsod'd, (too many times to count) i've never once lost my OS because of a hard crash. My thoery is that all the ruined RAID0 OS's that happend because of system crashes relate directly to the ICH10.

I'd ride that boat with yah

Put the RAID Card on the 2600K and Asus M4E. Something went right. Ran it 3 time to make sure i was reading this right. Idk but it looks promising.

This aint hte same Vertex drives is it? The pic is small but it says 1.75M writes and 2.5M reads? That is not possible with 4 drives!!!!

What i thought Neuro. Yea same drives but only 3 not 4. I figured it out i think. I was running Atto @ 256mb length. Should be 1gb i think. Scores the same over and over on 256. I get around 500W/800R @ 1gb length.

Ahh.. I looked up your card (Im not used to dedicated RAID cards)

"512MB DDRII cache (800MHz)"

ATTO was benching the onboard cache I suppose

This bodes well since it can handle a number of drives it should at least post well into the 2GB/s range WITHOUT taxing the CPU.

I need to get my a HW RAID card. First thing though is more HDD/SSDs
