One quick question I have Gigabyte GA-8N SLi Royal motherboard. It has an onboard raid controller. It has the Promise PDC20779 storage controller but currently I'm using the Nvidia Raid 0 configuration. Haven't use the promise controller yet for I have never heard of it I guess. I used the Nvidia Raid instead since it's an Nvidia chipset. So I'm wondering which one if there's any difference would provide a faster and or better raid 0 performance?

I know some of you will say to try it myself but I don't want to waste any time formating, installing os, installing programs etc and only to find out there's no difference. So what say you?

In some ways there is no difference. Commercial or business grade Raid support has many added features that only a few home users could ever want. Other wise the only opinionated advantage is that controller cards become portable in some ways, also have a low percentage of failure ( again personal opinion, but it seems to be supported).
