Hey there.. I was wondering if anyone could share experiences they have had with the Intel ICH10R SATA controller? I tried looking around but all I could find were RAID references, I have no interest in using the RAID functionality just basic SATA JBOD. Wondering if there are any gotchas for performance, drivers, quality etc. I normally don't touch anything that is not hardware RAID though this is a special project.. And even if I get demo gear I won't have enough time to put it through real paces(likely need weeks) before a decision needs to be made. I don't see anything that is causing alarm but just curious if anyone else has experiences. thanks nate

Mine has 3 separate Bios entries for ahci, raid, and jmicron. IIRC C5.4 has drivers for all. The worst thing you can do is install with the functionality off in the bios. Turn them all on, install, then decide if you want to tweek. I never ran JBOD, but did try RAID0 and it was flawless. Dmraid handled it. -- Mark
