Re: New Build GA-EP45-DS3 + Q9550
Ok So I'm Just wondering if anyone has any Ideas on what I should do with these two 1tb drives before I make the RAID. Ive heard of Low level formatting? Should I do this, as previously mentioned the vista onwards disk formatting doesnt seem to take very long and I was thinking a proper hardcore format might be the go?? Any Ideas? Also, I just for the fun off it changed my X48 HDD settings over to RAID and I didnt get a option to press Control + I to get into the RAID menu??? Im going to format the drive and install Windows 7 X64 Build 7232 just for the hell of it using the RAID drivers so It will be a RAID ready drive???? I dont know Im just experimenting.
