We found an Asus support page saying that you have to run the hitachi
software to enable the 3Gb/sec on the drives. I did that, and it said the

I have noticed the same thing with the onboard Silicon Image controller. I
am using the A8N-SLI Premium. I am using the Silicon Image controller
instead of the nForce4 controller because it specifically said SATAII and
said it supported RAID5 (whereas the nForce did not support RAID5). However,
