I'm building an LGA 2011 box, OS on SSD, Data on separate Drive, each connected to an Intel 6gbs port. One of the two ASMedia ports will go to my optical drive.
That leaves the 4 3gps SATA ports open, and if I use them, I would like to have 2 RAID 0 volumes, one will be used solely for Black Magic Intensity capture and the other as a scratch disk for CS5.
Looking to get over 200gbs sustained xfer on the capture volume with 2 Hitachi 7K drives in Raid 0.
If I went with a separate card, I could go to 4 drives to pretty much "lock in" my sustained transfer rates on the Capture Volume, would still only need 2 drives for the scratch disk. Would it be overkill, or is the performance difference that huge on a separate card as opposed to setting it up via BIOS? If it's worth it, what card would you recommend that can do a min. of 6 drives with two separate Arrays?
