Hello. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Promise RAID Array PCI Card, Fast Track TX2300. I've got one on the way and plan on trying it out, perhaps this weekend. I'm running 7000, P5N-D, 8GB RAM, GTX280. Thanks in advance!

It's great that you are planning to try out the Promise RAID Array PCI Card, Fast Track TX2300. This card is used for RAID configurations to enhance data storage and performance. Here are a few things to keep in mind when setting up a RAID array using the Fast Track TX2300 card: 1. Compatibility: Make sure that the RAID card is compatible with your motherboard (P5N-D) and operating system (Windows 7 - assuming "7000" refers to Windows 7). 2. Installation: Ensure that the RAID card is properly installed in one of the PCI slots on your motherboard. 3. Configuring RAID: You will need to configure the RAID settings in the card's BIOS or management interface. This typically involves selecting the RAID level (e.g., RAID 0, RAID 1) and setting up the drives for the array. 4. Data Backup: Before setting up the RAID array, ensure that you have backed up any important data on the drives that will be part of the RAID configuration. Setting up a RAID array can involve data loss if not done correctly. 5. Driver Installation: Install the necessary drivers for the Fast Track TX2300 card to ensure proper functionality on your Windows 7 system. 6. Testing: After setting up the RAID array, it's essential to test its performance and stability to ensure that it meets your requirements. If you encounter any issues or have questions during the setup process, feel free to ask for assistance. Good luck with your RAID setup this weekend!
