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...

Apoligize for delays. Will do some experimenting Monday 12/19 and Tuesday 12/20 as I will have both days off work. I'm going to attempt to run the data lifeguard with the above setting both in...

Thanks for the quick response to my post last week.
I agree, I will wait on setting up drives in RAID for later.
Re-reading the “Call me Al” posts again, which bring back memories of my...
Greetings all,
Second boot with BIOS in “integrated peripherals/on chip ATA devices/RAID mode” set on AHCI with no visible hard drives or CD ROM drives in the BIOS “standard CMOS features...
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!
I was under the...
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...
Greetings folks.

Set up with both hard disks on the Gsata connections in RAID 1 mirror. Loading windows 7 Pro 64 bit,...
OK, folks. Here's what I've got, or is on the way from Newegg:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA P55 USB3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681312i8425
Processor: Intel i5-760...
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.

I guess I should be referring to my desired motherboard as P55 chipset, a subset of LGA1156.
Here are two ASUS motherboards that have SATA 3 that I'm comparing to the two Gigabyte boards above:

Hi all,
Did more research last evening both on this forum and on the Gigabyte web site. A few observations and thoughts:
1) On the choice between the two Gigabyte motherboards I am trying to...
Hi Foks.
You were right. Once you build your own, you’re hooked with the quality and flexibility. Not to mention the knowledge you have of what’s going on inside the box. :D
Last year I built 5...
