I guess it would be drive xpert. Basically, there are 8 sata ports on the motherboard and you can turn two of them into a normal sata port, or have them basically raid 1'd I had it set as a normal port to software raid 6 drives and have one extra drive seperate for / and /home. I don't really need help with software raid, I'm pretty familiar. I just am trying to figure out why the assembly keeps failing, and the only thing I can think of is asus doing something stupid like piggy backing their drive xpert on one of the six sata ports on the board already on the main controller.
