March 29, 200917 yr Do onboard RAID controllers of today's chipsets (e.g. Intel Matrix et. al.) really mean performance loss when using them e.g with 3 HDDs in RAID 0 under FSX?Andreas Andreas, LOWW - Nihil sumus et fuimus mortales. Respice, lector: In nihil ab nihilo quam cito recidimus.
March 29, 200917 yr Moderator yes - subject has been discussed in detail at length. Search. mobo RAID does NOT work well with FSX.see here:http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtopic=246337 RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160

The bottom line is RAID and FSX do not mix
