could not agree more. :-D Sometimes I am daft. :'( Have considered putting them in my server running w7 but short term will be experimenting in xp in raid 0 to beta test backup sw for Duocor. I will report how they do. after installed will re align the drives for advanced format and see how it goes. Then do a clean w7 install and try to get all my old stuff working. Currently trying to figure out how to enable AHCI/Raid in the bios without a repair install with F6 option. Pretty sure not do able at this time. :-(
