Ok so i have a P7P55D motherboard which has SATA 2.0 3gb/s ports, but ive just seen these new Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB SATA 3 drives and im thinking i will RAID 0 two of them to get best speed etc.
ive seen i can buy an Asus U3S6 add on PCIe card which has 2 usb 3 ports and 2 sata 6gb/s ports, however it doesnt say anything about RAID for this add on card....
my question is, can i buy the card, and have the new Hard drives plugged in to it, and be able to RAID them using the RAID controller on my motherboard? or would it not recognise....
my other dilemma is should i just not get these drives and buy an SSD...... my only problem with that is i only have enough money to buy a really cheap nasty SSD like a kingston SSD now or something....
thanks
