[QUOTE="AIstudio, post: 368166, member: 63135"] If you are going to use a raid card for 1Tb drives or over, make sure that the card supports the LBA as I found out the hard way. I was using the onboard raid contoller of my Asus striker II Formula to control 4 x 500gb drives in raid 5. I then wanted to upgrade to 4 x 1Tb drives. Fine I thought, but the onboard raid controller didnt support the LBA that is required for larger drives, so I had to buy a rocket raid card that did. Cost me an extra 100 at the time. Heres the card I had to buy in the end [URL="http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/HighPoint-RocketRAID-2640x1-4-channel-SAS-SATA-PCI-ex1-RAID-card#ProductFeatures"]HighPoint RocketRAID 2640x1[/URL] Hope that helps Regards Kev [/QUOTE]
