Help with Asus A8N Sli Deluxe RAID

[lance_biscuit]

Does anyone know which RAID controller (Silicon Image or Nvidia) is better to use for RAID on the deluxe. Im getting 2 new Sata2 drives delivered today and want to install my first raid setup.

Also what will I need to install driver wise to get this working?

my specs are below

Asus A8N-Sli Deluxe
AMD X2 4800 +
2 Gb PC3200
ATI 1800XT 512MB
2 * Hitachi T7K250 250GB Sata2
Antec P180 Black

Go for the Nvidia.

I think it comes with a floppy, but if not go here and get.....

NV RAID drivers
Supports NVIDIA nForce4 series chipset with NV RAID (software)
For SATA and SATA-Raid WHQL pass, PATA-Raid none WHQL

If you lost your Driver Disk labeled as "nVidia SATA RAID Drivers"
This file will teach you how to make one Driver Disk

First please perpare one formatted 1.44M Floppy. Download the driver for Win2000/XP/XP 64bit and copy the files into the floppy.
