Hi Guys
I'm looking for a basic Asus motherboard but which has RAID as a function, it's mainly going to be used for backup purposes only really. I thought all new motherboards had raid function? Some of these show up as saying "none".
Can anyone please advise?

Most (if not all) do. You have linked to intel mobos....is that because you have a chip already? If the machine is just beign used for backup, I would recommend a much cheaper AMD system.
Yes i already have a basic i3 chip, it's also used for some crunching.
If nearly all intel motherbaords do it, why is it that some say in the description RAID : SATA and some say RAID: NONE.
Do some of these have a dedicated raid chip?
For example this does not say raid: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/asus-...vga)-dvi-d-atx
and this says raid: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/asus-...i-d-sub-(vga)-
i.m just a bit confused as it's going to run SBS 2011 and need raid to run.
According to Intels B75 documentation, it has Intel Rapid Storage technology.....of which one of it's features is raid.

I guess Asus maybe remove the RAID firmware from the BIOS if those boards really do not do RAID....fairly easy to put back in though if that's the case.
It's strange why they would remove it?
But just need to be sure before I purchase it, as I don't really want to mess around with putting raid back on, just need it to be ready to use without any issues or patches.
I wouldn't risk it then, very little info about those boards.
