RE: [H] NVidia SATA RAID questions

Well look how long they have been in the embedded RAID market - they are 
still a baby. It took intel a decade to get it right. Adaptec even longer 
(arguably they gave up and just bought out DPT).

It doesn't help that the RAID setup in the BIOS appears to allow you to 
build the array there, but actually doesn't work, or that the latest 
drivers are flawed (they are missing at least one inf file.)  I really wish 
NVidia would task some of the engineers working on video driver updates to 
work on chipset drivers (or hire some to work on chipset drivers.)  They 
can increase video card speeds by 20% with driver updates; can you imagine 
if they could increase HD throughput by 20% - or memory throughput?
