Onboard integrated raid controller huh? That's cool and all, but it won't matter too much unless the performance is above average.

This biggest need for me right now? A raid controller that...

nicely done confluence-

Shooting someone out of the chopper like that..wow! Was that luck or skill you think? Also- nice moves blowing that tank up as you were parachuting.


I should...

I'm submitting my claim tomorrow. I still actually have and use the laptop. I can't use it for gaming, but it sure does everything else I need it to do.

- I actually had to go buy an ATI card to...

@SteveRo - wow, something is definitely wrong there. I wonder why the SATA 300 isn't working?

To everyone- I've been running my 1880 for a few weeks now and it seems like my average controller...

Nice find. I am too late as well. :mad: I bought the $230 chip!

It works great though!

I've only had an hour or so to play, but the initial results look pretty good.

1880ix-12 and 2GB Cache with some Intel 40GB Value drives:

Budget?

Interesting indeed. I will have to try them out this coming week!

SteveRo - Sorry I didn't mention that earlier. Yes, the 12 port.

SteveRo- I ordered the ram and controller almost two weeks ago from provantage. Didn't see anything change as of yesterday, so I called and they stated an early October ETA. :( I cancelled the...

Yeah, good point. Why the differences in terms?

After all - 1400MB per second is greater than 10Gbps (approx. 1000MB per second).

I ordered an 1880IX-12 last week from Provantage due to their low price! Not sure when I'm going to see it though. The order is still processing. :(

Anyway, I'd like to throw a bunch of cheap...

Just so I understand this right....Intel is still working on updating their own SSD controller's right? Any showing of these here?

The new Sandforce drives have the best write speeds. For under $600 you can pick up two OCZ Vertex 2 120GB or Corsair F120 drives. The sandforce drives are suitable for Raid 0 as well due to their...

The "System Configuration Tuner" is a pretty nice feature. It even reminded me that Superfetch was enabled and offered a prompt to disable. :up:

Anyone have a (US retail ) link to a 667Mhz 4GB memory chip for this card? I'll try that out if nobody can find a legitimate 800Mhz 4GB chip.

I wonder what kind of performane difference that...

I can't see any pics or benches since I'm at work, but I can tell you this:

Try to remove any unessary peripherals from your PC during bootup. Also,if you have any network mappings, disconnect...

You can try your theory out on a P55 motherboard. The P55 has the PCI-e controller on the cpu. I'd love to see the differences in latency from a P55 and X58 using a high end raid controller or even...

What?!?! Just get another X25-M! Don't go backwards.

But if you do....feel free sell that thing in the 'for-sale' forums. I could always use one. :)

I hate to draw any conclusion using a Value drive against any database/web/file server usage. If I had to though, I would stick to the drive that delivers better Random Read specs -Intel X25-m or...

When I first bought the board (a long time ago it seems), I was able to create a Raid 0 array on the Marvell chip using SATA and SAS drives. Unfortunately, I could never get the marvel controller to...

Holy Cow! What's up with the six pin extra PCIe power connector? This thing uses that much power?

ewww, those numbers don't look right at all.

If you are still playing around with the 9211 - you might want to try a soft raid (don't enable raid 0 in the LSI bios).

I also like the idea of...

Something is wrong with your Maxtor drives. Those writes should be much higher. Try testing each one individually (non raid) and see what you get.

What's up with the poor 128k writes?
