BX133-RAID
"This RAID isn't for cockroaches..."
Installation:
This motherboard was very easy to install. No major hiccups
at all. My biggest fear was setting up the RAID array. I'll be honest... I
have always been intimidated by RAID.
Oops... Wrong "RAID"! Anyway, when I've read anything
regarding RAID in the past it has always sounded so complicated and I really
thought I was in for a chore. Not so... The setup menu for the Highpoint
controller is very simple to follow. I'd have to say that it's nearly
foolproof. Here's a screenshot of the setup menu:
From start to finish it took me nearly three hours get this
up and running... The RAID array took me less than 45 minutes to setup,
including formatting. Much less time than I anticipated. Since I'm more
concerned with performance rather than data security... I chose to setup RAID 0
Striping to get the biggest bang for the buck. Now, how does it perform?
