this may be a really silly question but i was looking at the x79 asus rog iv rampage extreme for my new build it has 4 sata 3 6.gb ports two intel and two asm..... Something i have 4 crucial m4 64 i wanted to raid 0 for max performance is this going to work? I have never done anything past a simple 2 drive raid 0


If not can anyone suggest a board


I cannot use a controller i have 2 580 dcu2 triple slot vc that take up all the slots......

As far as I am aware you are unable to mix the controllers for RAID for you would be limited at 2-drives per RAID setup.

A side question and a piece of advice that I gave to another user here, do you actively do things that would consistently take advantage of having 6+ cores (and the price premium to go with it) or do you mostly browse, watch movies, and game on your PC?

OC Benchmark and Game only my hobby station need every possible %

How does the Intel suuport raid 0 1 5 10 then???? is this for sure? I have no way of running 4 drive raid on any x79 z68 mobo?

According to the newegg specs:
2 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), red and 4 x SATA 3Gb/s port(s), black support RAID 0, 1, 5, 10

The 4xSata2 (3Gb/s) one support 0,1,5,10. I'd guess that the red only support 0 and 1, if any (as it wasn't specified in the specifications)


If you are going to be benching with it then rock on
