I'm currently running an ASUS a7V266 with an XP2500+. The promise RAID controller takes forever to detect the hard drives unless all 4 ports are used. When all 4 ports are used, it only takes a couple of seconds to detect the hard drives. As far as I know there is no way around this.
Now for my question. All of the new boards seem to have SATA RAID ports. Do they have this same problem? Is SATA really any faster than DMA133?
What is a good upgrade mobo that doesn't force me to use SATA drives? I have 4 drives that work at DMA133 that add up to 250 Gigabyte. Who needs more storage???
