Falcon I with Hard-Disk Raid on ICH10R Fix

[Schwanke78]

Most of you know that the ICH10R supports trim, but some of us like to RAID our platter drives for temp caching and game drives. To make it short I was using this method on the ICH10R chipset with all drives, but when I ran wiper utility it wiped my SSD clean of all data with the Hard drive RAID enabled. Frustrating for some but there is a workaround, since I am using a ASUS PX58D-E Board it has two Southbridge controllers, on Intel and the other Marvel. The fix I used was moving my Raptors to the Marvel 6GB controller and keeping the SSD independent on the ICH10R chipset. Finally success, I can run wiper and takes no hit with the RAID array on the separate controller and its butter smooth. Now far as putting SSD's on the Marvel will be a no go since it can't pass a trim command. I just wanted to share this little experience with the users on the board and hope it may solve some potential problems for some potential RAID users.

Thank you for posting this info. People should understand that these are the benefits of having a motherboard with two seperate controllers. Not all will have this feature, so in that case you would not be able to split the SSD and RAID.

Thank you
