Hi all and thanks for reading.
Ive just purchased 2 WD Caviar RE 160GB 1600YS's which i intend to put in RAID 0 on the rig in my sig. with a Gigabyte DS3 Motherboard.
Ive heard bad reports from people stating that theyve had bad transfer rates using the GSATA raid controller and also problems with the JMICRON sata drivers bundled with the G'Byte motherbaords and to use the intel ones.
Has anyone got any good advice / pointers or links they'd kindly share before i embark on this task this weekend
Also im currently using a Maxtor 160MB ATA133 2MB cache hard drive as my main drive, will i see a noticeable difference with the raid setup above.?
Thanks.
Cheers all.
