Hi Chris, I have many of the same questions. SATA is plenty fast for home systems and modern drives are smoking stuff that was enterprise class just a few years ago. 'twas ever thus. Cables are a nightmare IMHO. This was by far the reason I've been a big fan of SCSI for a long time.

Usually you have to set RAID configurations in the SATA card's BIOS. Once its BIOS thinks you have a RAID configuration you have a chance of proceeding. (Note that the AGP drivers for that motherboard MAY have problems. The W-s drivers certainly did when we got one here to setup. I finally
