But this only really affects Writes in RAID5 You should be getting around 550MB/s for the Vertex3 in sequential reads. 4k reads are the slowest of all benchies, but you should be getting 20+MB/s Make sure the card is in a PCIe 2.0 8x capable slot Try setting the Intel and any other onboard controller to IDE mode (not AHCI) Other than that it should just work.

I had similar writes to you but the reads were slow, less than 1mb/s on 4k, Im using the card on sabertooth x58 (latest bios). Is there some setting in megaraid i need to change?

HDMI, will have sound via video card, but you may need an audio cable to run from the Motherboard to the Video card to allow the audio to travel down the HDMI cable Hope this helps. I'm about to build a new Dektop system and am very much looking forward to using the monitor more often. ANT-In I think is for DVB-T signals, I could not get anything to tune via analogue signals

Many thanks in advance. Hi all, I really love this screen for its various features and its price, and I got some question about it :

Although the old version has been replaced with a new one but it is easy to find. It sped up my NTFS-formated 64GB Kingston quite a lot. No idea why this is so but I just can see it by eye. It got formated into NTFS using a low level format tool which was the only way I could recover it from a failure some days ago - just got unreadable on NT PCs... But it formated it as NTFS and although it did work, surprisingly the speeds and esp when reading a complex directory structure for synchronysation.
