Setting up 4x Raid 0 on Gigabyte X79-UP4

Hi guys. I'm currently trying to set up a raid0 array across 4 120G Kingston SSDs and can only see 2 drives when I get to the setup screen. Both sets of slots are set to raid in the BIOS and the motherboard is seeing all 4 drives. Is it possible to have a 4 disk raid0 array on this...

Velociraptor RMA

I had 4 drives go bad on me this week and am just wondering about W/Ds RMA process on VR drives... 2 of mine are HLFS and 2 are GLFS models. Just wondering if they might just ship me 4 HLHX models perhaps since mine are older? I noticed in their 'customer loyalty' store, they only have the newer...

GTX680's -- go get 'em!

I never would have guessed Nvidia would have undercut AMD with something better. Kudos. Now, let the 7970 fall in price like a brick. Oh and I saw this too... I would say there is a considerable line between real enthusiasts and those chronicling their purchases on internet forums...

Got Gas? U.S. Economy to Worsen as Gas Prices Skyrocket

I believe he is referring to the way in which Enron traders were able to manipulate the market for electricity generation and drive the prices through the roof in the middle of shortages in CA, by such means as phoning in orders to power plants to shut down in an effort to remove generation from...

Hard Drive Suggestions for a new build. Caviar Blacks in RAID & Video Editing

Hey guys I picked up an older 3200AAKS drive last night but it does not have the Caviar Blue Branding/Designation. I'm assuming it's virtually the same drive although it has a mfg date of 2008. Would it still be the same single platter design in a 320g Blue?

Hard Drive Suggestions for a new build. Caviar Blacks in RAID & Video Editing

Thanks. Looks like I'll take a mate to the 500gig I've got and put it on a RAID-0 array for the editing. Also, would it be good to use some of that for running apps as well, or keep them on the SSD? For an SSD, I was thinking the Crucial 300.
