I heard bad things about nvidias raid controller built into the nf4 and nf5 motherboards.
I am currently using nvraid and my results are below.
I am running 3x 150 gig WD raptors 10k rpm in raid 5
does anyone else out there have a similar setup using a non nvraid controller? and if so how do the results stack up?
I'm trying to find out if it's worth forking out for a pci raid controller or not.
