nvidia maxtor bad combo

nvidia and maxtor a bad combo

I read this in a past issue of MaximumPC. The DiamondMax10 performed great on the Silicon Image 3114 but SI doesn't have compatible Vista drivers.
Why can't Vista use the existing drivers? -- Asus A8N SLI Deluxe Athlon 64 3000 nForce 4 Maxtor DiamondMax10 4x 1 GB Corsair XMS 4400 nvidia 6800 2x

HDD don't ever need drivers. Are you talking about controller drivers? SATA/RAID? -- AMD-FX-60 2gb OCZ Plat. memory ATI 1800 AIW 2x74gb Raptors in RAID-0 2x400gb WD HDD in RAID-1 Epox Nvidia-4 Ultra M/B Senior Member Overclockers.com

The Maxtor disks seem invisible on the nividia chip set whether alone or in raid. "No info on hard drives..." is what comes up unless there a Western Digital drive. -- Asus A8N SLI Deluxe Athlon 64 3000 nForce 4 Maxtor DiamondMax10 4x 1 GB Corsair XMS 4400 nvidia 6800 2x
