I tried running raid 5 in both vista and XP and found the same issue. Upon testing and benchmarking my system I came to realize that my write speeds were under 4mbps. If you really want raid 5 then I would look into getting an independant card. Otherwise think about raid 1 for reliability or the raid 0 performance which is insane on this board.
