RAID drivers

Reviewed By: on 11/10/2009

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros: The motherboard has run well so far. There are a ton of SATA connectors.

Cons: I can't load the raid controller on Windows 7. If you are planning on buying this for all of those lovely SATA ports to create a RAID, don't plan on using windows 7

Great Board

Reviewed By: Samuke on 11/3/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Runs smooth, have had no issues

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Got this board for a PC build on a budget and it's pretty nice. Not good for people who want bragging rights with all the excessive things people throw into PCs these days, but it gets the job done without any issues.
