That was with F4 bios and the latest Intel firmware as well.

But otherwise, they work great and are fast as hell. With NCQ enabled they are running 170MB/s write 540MB/s read for 2-G2's in raid0.
How do you enable NCQ? Don't see this option in RAID mode anywhere: BIOS, RAIDXpert, Device Manager...
