Serial RAID question

[Bantam]

I'm dragging my post to this forum, looks a little less cluttered than the mobo section...

I'm considering making a 2x160GB Seagate Barracuda RAID 0 array on my A7N8X Deluxe mobo, but I vaguely remember someone, somewhere having problems. Is there anyone that can tell me that you have either a) Tried a serial raid array with the onboard ports and failed or b) tried a serial raid array with the onboard ports and succeeded (if so, what drives did you use)?

I don't care for conjecture or wild assumptions. I can do that myself, thank you.

I'd rather not spend the $360 without knowing for dead sure that this'll work so thanks for anyone that's already gone out and tested the waters.

Only issue I have seen mentioned was with WD Raptor drives and the SI 3112A controller, which has been resolved with new drivers and BIOS.

Oh, but I also heard that if you jam the cables in backwards, and unplug the power cord during bootup, the hard drives will accelerate to relativistic speeds and cause a time warp which will cause your testicles to ascend back into your torso, and your mother's back with break.

I currently run RAID 0 on an A7N8X Deluxe.

I have not run into any problems whatsoever - no corrpution or failures. It's been perfectly fine.
