Hello,
I was wondering if someone could give me some advice. I am considering the ga-x58-ud3r rev. 2 or the P6x58d-e. This will be the first computer I have ever built. I read a thread where Jaquith had trouble with an ssd plus raid 1 on the ud3r. I hope to at some point raid two or more ssd drives and have one or two regular hdds either as stand alone drives or possibly raid 1. Does anyone know if the issue Jaquith had was isolated or if it is an issue that pertains to all the ud3r boards. The ud3r has a pata connection which I need and it has more connections overall. The p6x58d-e is approximately forty dollars higher on newegg at the moment counting shipping costs but I have read that it is more stable overall, has an easier bios for a beginner and it has q connectors which as I understand it make installation easier which would be a plus for me. Thanks in advance for any advice.
