Okay so I got the new LSI card yesterday as well as one of the RMA's (the samsung 1TB). It is probably going to be a while until I get the replacement F120 but not to worry.
The LSI's bios has a lot of functions and I am happy with the amount of advanced features I probably will never use but...
Newegg doesn't sell just one SSD but yes that is exactly what one of my corsair f120s did. I bought two of those. One would detect immediately and would give me about 10,000 IOPS for 512 byte random access where the second would have to be connected and disconnected atleast 6 times (also tested...
