    Thats right, I just purchased the fastest Hardrive in the world. This is better then raptor, better then a scsi drive, better then the fastest ssd, and the i-ram. It' called the Hyperdrive 5. I just purchased it for about 500gb, but I have a problem, I need ram...

    What the best ram I can purchase out there? I need 8gb per stick, please help me out with this, heres the original site I purchased it from.

    So I have been doing some research and it seems like, I cant find any 8gb single ddr2 sticks for the hyperdrive 5. Am I doing something wrong?

    Then I have also discovered by reading this...

    http://www.hyperossystems.co.uk/07042003/faqshd5.htm

    It says

    Q Why does the HyperDrive5 have two SATA ports?

    A So that you can split one 8 DIMM slot device into two 4 DIMM slot deivces and run them both in RAID0 using a RAID controller for even faster performance.

    I know that I had trouble before with my old motherboard, and I also had trouble install my graphics card and hardrive in my new asus m3n78 motherboard. The graphic card was a problem because it overlapped the sata ports, I used right angled sata cables to overcome that obstacle, and I have had trouble getting my hardrives detected. Then later I discovered that I plugged the sata cables in the wrong ports, Sata 5 and Sata 6 was reserved for something else.

    If you see in this picture on #3
    [​IMG]
    It says SATA 5-6 connectors support AHCI mode and RAID mode only.

    So heres my question, I had no idea the Hyperdrive 5 was able to go to raid 0... I want it to go to raid 0, How do I set raid 0 up on my motherboard? dosent raid 0 mess up with the other sata ports because I have read further and it says
    - Due to chipset limitation, when set any of SATA ports to RAID mode, all SATA ports run at RAID mode together
    Does that mean all sata ports 1-6 will run in raid mode? I really want to use the motherboards raid 0 feature and not buy an Acer Raid 0 card.... Please help me out with this. Im lost.
