Chuckbam i havent thought of that, but i will certainly try... I have installed Vista atm so i can acctually get some work down and RnR.. but doesnt the windows allways formats by itself even if you do not do it manually?
But as with this mobo fun never ends i have a new question/problem.
I cannot enable cash write back
But it seems as it is enabled individually, but not on volume.... :shrug:

Notice how its enabled per drive, but not for volume, just as in windows devmgmt.
Is this normal , and if not how do i enable it...

Also my HD read are 124 MB/s and 157MB/s burst rate measured by HDSpeed
Is this ok speed for 2xSata II Discs in RAID 0 mode?

Also a quick Q about defragmenting.
Is Defragmenting RAID 0 volume worth doing? I ask because if i understand correctly the data is resettled so its in one piece in sector by sector mode. So in case of RAID 0 moving data to 1 of the discs defeats the purpose of RAID 0 reading advantage. I mean are there defragmentors that recognise RAID 0 setting and defragment accordingly?
