Hi Folks
Using the asrock z77 oc formula (other specs in sig)...was thinking of going with 3x vertex 4's in raid 0. The issue is that the Intel chipset (which a sticker on the mobo says "for better performance and fast boot up times...use these ports) only has 2 sata3 ports. There are also 4 sata3 ports using the Marvel controller.
Question 1....there are 2 bios settings (in storage configuration) for the Marvell ports 0,1 and 2,3. If I set both of those to 'RAID', will it actually allow me to add the drives on ports 0, 1 and 2 to a single raid array?
Question 2...for maximum speed am I better off using the Intel ports (2x ssd's in raid0) or the Marvel ports (3x ssd's in raid0...if that'll work)?
tia!
