• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

I am setting up a hardware raid card and have some questions about some of the choices. I am using 2 each 2TB drives, but will also be adding 2 SSD's as the OS/boot. I would like to know what these are and which I should choose:

1) 64bit LBA or 4K block (for greater than a 2TB raid set)
2) Volume write protection - on or off
3) Raidset mode - max 128 volumes or max 16 volumes
4) Initialization - foreground or background

In Windows 7 disk management
1) MBR (master boot record) or GPT (GUID partition table)

I did notice in MBR mode, I can only create a 2TB max boot partition. In GPT mode, I can create a boot partition of the full size of 3.8TB.
