The G-Sata raid is perfect though and can get 170mb/s transfers on it.
I'm interested, I had some problems with RAID (slow windows boot and choppy performance and bad rating of hdd in win7) and am now starting to think it could be because I'm using the standard sb600 sata for raid instead of G-sata, altho I've read somewhere that SB600 SATA is supposedly faster?

My question however is, can I safely switch from SB600 RAID to G-SATA RAID without losing data? Will a simple re-plug of the connectors do or will I lose the entire array and have to make it from scratch again? Since on my 500GB array, I got ~ 400GB of data and I dont got extra hdd's atm to back it all up.
