after 6 months of fumbling around i've finally got this card up. I had to tape mod pins 5 & 6. Before that this card only functions on mb's with integrated video. I've got an rma from lsi but I just wanted to check and see if anyone has got this card and mb to work w/o pin mod.
I am using/going to use this machine as a file server (mostly very large files;50gig+) and wanted some advise for the best configuration. I've got 5 2tb seagate XT's 6gbs for my raid 5, crucial c300,intel 80 gig x-25m and 3 patriot warp v2s. I know the latter arent that great, but was thinking about using for scratch. Should I put c300 on mb marvell 6gbs or on raid card, or on intels controller for best os performance? I've not seen anything good about marvells controller. Also plan on buying lsi cachecade, thought I could use one of the patriots for that.
Thanks for advise.
