Pushing the boundaries of the ICH10R

MOAR MEGAHURTZ AND MOAR VOLTAGES!

just dont get too crazy... considering you've dropped the coin for 3 of those drives in raid im assuming you have a few extra bucks for an add in controller... id just buy a card instead of possibly frying your sb

Well when I originally got into the whole SSD thing I bought an Adaptec 5805 RAID card but it wouldn't initialize the card's BIOS on my PC. I put the SSDs on the ICH10R and to be honest I think it's an underrated controller now - very quick disk initialization time and it seems as solid as they come. A proper RAID controller would probably work now i've changed motherboards, but i'm happy with the ICH10R for now...that is, as long as I don't watch that YouTube vid of the 24 Samsung SSDs in RAID giving 2GB/sec throughput
