Here something interesting. The first run I did with one drive stand alone it was still under the raid controller in the BIOS I just set it to 1 drive spanning. Anyways I decided to check and see if they need a BIOS update, Intel gives you a bootable CD iso to do the updates. After booting it could not find the drive...reading through the instructions it says you can't do it if the drive is under RAID. So I removed both drives from the raid controller in the bios and re-booted with the cd. BINGO both drives detected and new FW applied. Fired up Vista and setup the drive as standalone. New benchmark for single drives is much better. Not certian is this is because of the FW or being off Nvidia raid controller. More testing needed.
Slim: I'll let you know how win7 boots in a few days, going to play around with them a bit first.
