I'm looking to build a comp with 4x 400GB hard drives and want to do RAID5 for the backup/parity. I've had a 400GB die on me and its not fun losing huge chunks of data. Is the RAID5 on the nforce5 boards decent? I've heard some data coruption on older nforce4 boards with RAID and such. If its decent, whats a good board out right now. Thanks.

Potentially the best nForce5 board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136014

The reps over at DFI street will have more info tommorrow (their boards are on the fedex truck striaght from DFI tonight).

These are socket AM2 only boards. Also, nForce4 had excellent RAID, at least on the DFI boards (I believe most manufacturers got the initial issues resolved, and it works properly now).
