I am nervous hearing about the SATA issues so that basically killed off the small part in me that contemplated doing a RAID 0 setup. I was originally going to get just one hard drive but always hear people say it is better to have an OS drive separate from the storage job. I hope I am okay with this configuration.
If Overdrive does all the testing they claim to then I am hoping my system will be solid when I get it. My apologies for posting somewhat off topic but since I am about to drop a lot of money on a 680i-based system I thought I would post my conerns.
