Got a new board-CPU coming this week. Letting go of my AMD system so i have a few questions.
I am running (3) 160gb Intel 320's in RAID0. On this new board should i put them on the 3gb Intel (blue) ports? Also have a WD black 6gb spinner. was thinking about putting this on the fourth 3gb port. Now.... where do i put the DVD burner?
What im trying to do is not have to use the Marvel controller and just use the Intel RAID controller. I believe this is the fastest way for me to go with 3gb drives...... Or do I stand to be corrected?

The 3 SSDs on the Intel SATA 2 ports is the only way to go for the RAID 0 ..

I have used a DVD drive on the Marvell controller and it worked just fine, but either way, why not put the WD on the Intel SATA 3 port ?

Probably do just that....WD on the sata 3 port.
Bummer is i just got this up running about a month ago. Now i will have to reinstall windows over again. Had a Vertex 3 in it. Nothing but problems (BSOD) after a few days of running. As time goes on they just got worse. Finally went with the 320's...Thanks!!
