Google's not perfect for sure, but the links I found were dated 2 years
ago and the download link took me to AMD's official download page with no
RaidXpert visible. Again, thanks for the info..

RaidXpert not supported by AMD? You sure?
I have an embedded AMD Athlon II Neo N36L with RS785E/SB820M chipset and
RaidXpert manages to support and enable write cache and NCQ.
Take a look at HP's service advisory;
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c02541592
It says under Server 2008 R2 but it should be the same with Windows 7.

RaidXpert seems to no longer be supported by AMD and Wikipeadia says its
for remote configuration. I'm using the SB710 RAID controller with the
latest Catalyst version pressing Cntl-F during bootup. It has very
limited
feature set but says that AHCI is enabled for my array. Thanks for the
reply, can you tell me more than Google about RaidXpert software? Is it
worth my time to pursue?

You may also want to "short-stroke" the RAID 0 partition just for the
OS
and
important programs and leave the rest of space for other unimportant
stuff.
You can use 100GB from each drive (total 200GB) just for this RAID 0
partition. Access times will be better and read / writes will be
consistant
throughout like SSD drives.

Just bought a second identical drive from Ebay to create a RAID 0
setup on
my game box below. Re-installed Win7 Pro and all my drivers copied
\Steamapps back into my new Steam installation and man is it fast.
Probably
not as quick as an SSD but still noticeably faster. This is my first
RAID
setup ever and the first time I've not used legacy IDE in the BIOS.
The
manual that came with my board walked me through it and it worked
right
the
first time. The only snag I ran into was my SATA DVD drive cable had
to
be
plugged into another port before I could install Windows. Highly
recommended..
