not good

This review is from: ASUS Rampage III Gene LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros:
good board layout
Cons:
the board didn't recognize my drives all of the time. i tryed a PCI-e OCZ card and it would recognize it about 10% of the time. i then tryed to setup 2 OCZ SSD on the Sata 3 ports and setup a raid windows 7 installation recogniazed the raid without the driver. but with and without loading the driver refused to install windows on the dives. this may just have been a defective board on the ports i was trying to use. i was able to get a singel drive to work and install windows on a Sata 2 port. and after updating the bois i still had the same problem with all of the drives.
Overall Review:
i have RMA the board for refund as it does not work as intended
Manufacturer Response:
Dear Valued Customer,
We're sorry to hear about the issue you had with the motherboard.
To set up RAID, please be sure to enable it in BIOS. At POST, press CTRL + I to enter Intel Option ROM and create a RAID volume. Save, reboot, and install Windows as normal. Please ready a flash drive or CD containing Intel Rapid Storage Technology as you may be prompt for drivers during installation. If not, install them once you are in Windows. Drivers can be found at: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1366/Rampage_III_GENE/#download.
If you believe that the SATA ports are non-functional, please either obtain a replacement from the retailer or RMA the motherboard to our service center. To RMA the motherboard, please use the following form at: http://vip.asus.com/eservice/usa_rmaserv.aspx or call 1-812-282-2787.
Regards,
Benson
