'Hardware' RAID controller vs Intel Matrix
I brought this up in another thread but forgot to follow up on it, concerning the 'hardware' RAID controller on my mobo vs the Intel Matrix Storage 'RAID' version... will I see better speeds using the 'hardware' version? This gets a bit trickier since the 'hardware' version is used on the two 6GBs SATA III slots and the 6x SATA II use the IMS RAID.
My tentative plan: Put two SATA II 64GB SSD's on the 'hardware' RAID0 to eck out all the speed I can while using the standard IMS with two 750GB WD Black in RAID0...
...feel free to weigh in with your knowledge and thoughts.
