sure ... I would have told ya the same but I thought you won't think about getting a RAID controller ... so do you have one on board or nee to buy one ???
if ya need to buy one ...
I can really recommend the Silicon Image 3112 (2 channels) or 3114 (4 channels) chipset !

Nope I haven't got a controller yet.
I'll look for the Silicon Image 3112 (2 channels) or 3114 (4 channels) chipset. Do you have one yourself?

Also I can't seem to find any Seagate 200GB SATA's... worrying but i'll keep looking.
Just as a side question, should I look harder for the Seagate SATA or go for a Maxtor because theres quite a few Maxtor SATA's that I saw at ebuyer.
Is Maxtor that bad :hmm:

yes it is Big Grin
I got both ... first I got the 3114 RAID card ... for very cheap price ... I mean 4port card + 2x4 cables for only 45€ ... the promise card do cost alon 150€ or more
the menu is extrem easy ... they work out of the box very very good one ...
BIOS update is no problem and can be even done via windows

so I got a new board with sil 3112 integrated ... now i do have both controller and they borth are pretty much the same except the number of ports

Yea I heard the new mobos don't require you to buy a controller card for SATA's as it's integrated somehow.
Sounds cool.
