    Doing the full media scan now on one of the 2 drives. After I get done, and get win 7 to load, I'll post my final settings. I think I figured out how to set up RAID 1, and I'll post that also. Must...

    I played all afternoon with the BIOS settings to no avail. Then, I noticed I placed the SATA connector from the hard drives into jacks 2 and 3 (on top of each other and seemed natural) and the CD...

    Thanks for the quick response to my post last week.

    I agree, I will wait on setting up drives in RAID for later.

  6. Sweet Success, but still a little confused as to why

    Ok, Z,

    I'm writing this post on my new machine, thanks to your advice. I left my two HDD's on Gsata inputs and reset them to JBOD's. Then loaded windows far enough to see if there were any drives...

    Hello Z,

    Once again, thanks for the detailed and rapid response.

    I am buried in work this week, so no experimentation until this weekend. At least I still have a job!

    Z,

    Thanks for quick response. If I did enable only one drive, I guess I could just see if I get a drive to show up in the screen that is blank now in Windows. I sure don't want to load Win 7 on...

    OK, I scrapped the 6Gb/s thing and bought mobo, now what about RAM?

    OK, I jumped on a Newegg price decline this week and bought the Gigabyte GA P55 USB3 mobo after reading the article on the 6 Gb/s SSD and amazing myself at the price. It seemed like you are blazing a...

    Thanks Rick,

    I'll look it over this week.

    I had more of a dual JBOD in mind, with a small SSD for the main drive and 640 or 1 TB for 2nd drive.
