So I see on Seagate’s website that there is now a 1.5TB Barracuda 7200.11 SATA-II drive (ST31500341AS). I tried looking for a US release date and only found a place taking pre-orders in the UK and they stated "August." Anyone here know any of the US release?
I could use some larger drives soon this is [...]

i noobed myself by trying to let the mobo handle the raid.mobo raid from most consumer mobos is fail and aids.
the only mobos that do decent raid are server-grade boards.here’s my recommendation… assuming you mean SATA-II and you have a PCI-Ex4/8/16 slot available.

My experience: I’ve built quite a few barebones, so I know what plugs are what, where they go, how to install components, etc.
What I dont know: This will be my first PC with SATA HDD’s.
- What method to power them is preferred? The SATA power cable or standard 4 pin power? Does it [...]
I just ordered the new 3Ware 12ch RAID-6 card that I’m going to be using for my new setup. Need to find the best deal on either 750 or 1tb drives.

NewEgg is shitty for drives I hear, they don’t [...]

Don’t you guys get tired of talking about the same shit, over and over?
Motherboards and RAID are not interesting.well,.. we could talk about Lindsay Lohan’s tits are big again, but that is already covered in the main forum.
why don’t I see you guys in the main forum anyway?
yeah, I’m currently doing this in my main system and have had no issues past the initial setup being a bitch due to my second card not having a manual to tell me to set my satas all to the other speed with the jumpers.
okIt should work, but not recommended and there *might* be problems. [...]
I know a bit about Raid, but I am just wondering what types of Raid does everyone if you use it.

What are your thoughts and experiences?
I [...]
