3. RAID cards being used isn't that abnormal, I'd think any decent RAID card (or most at least) and not the cheapest you can possibly find would work in most boards. If hardware is cheap, its usually cheap for a reason (lack of QC, little to no driver updates, little to no tech support, etc).
Maybe that wasn't argument but sounded like that. Don't take it personally. I appreciate your work here and following the thread for a long time.
But we should not miss the point here. It seems that Asrock does not support raid controllers on their boards (cheap or expensive).
That's unusual. Did you hear about such precedence in the past from other mobo makers?
And actually why that isn't supported? And what that means for me as a customer, I can rma the board if I witness compatibility problems or can't?
That is very unusual. The board is equipped with 4x PCIe slot which do not loose bandwidth unlike competitors (Asus board requires draconian feature cutting to get 4x slot). And at the same time Asrock limiting that functionality only to graphic cards.
Definitely Asrock does not gain better reputation among professionals that way. It seems they think gamers hearts are sufficient.
Strange, that's all.
