Thanks Zx2Slow. What about speeds,lets say for 3 ssd of this old kingston series will i be getting anything better then using the motherboard controller?

Mobos can only raid 2 sata3 drives, the lsi cards can handle 4 to 8 (or more depending on which) and yes, it'll smoke onboard controllers. You really can't go wrong with a Mega raid card when it comes to raid arrays. I'm eyeballing an LSI card myself. I'm running a few sata3 drives on sata2 port atm...a sin in my book...lol

But these are sata 2,i once had 4 of them in raid 0 in and old i7 920 and a x58 mobo,this is a 2009 or 2010 megaraid card i have here stoped along with the ssd?s from the first Kingston v+ series each one of them have 64 gb,that?s why i wanted to know,because it isnt a very recent card and the ssds arent as well..

The LSI 8708EM2 is a 3Gbps (ie SATA II) controller, so keep this in mind.

[Raiden]

didnt understand very well what you meant..

[Nizzen]

...and where is the extreme storage? :p

[mobilenvidia]

didnt understand very well what you meant..

8708EM2 = SATA 2 or 3Gbps
Kigston V300 = SATA 3 or 6Gbps

Controller can't keep up with SSD's

...and where is the extreme storage? :p

Its extreme(ly), slow

I think you are extreme(ly) wrong. I said V+ first series of 2009 or 2010 not v300 sata 3 or 6gb per second read it well before trying to bash the others

These are the ssd.


As you may see by this picture i want to use 4 of these ssd with that card to reutilize parts i have hanging around here.

I just asked in this section due to the storage theme,if you dont know what to say or inform correctly dont even bother to answer

[mobilenvidia]

Picture in first post would have saved all this grief, what you actually have is a benefit for those trying to help (with humour)
BTW v+ comes in both 3Gbs and 6Gbs versions
