i will be building a new gigabyte system, (lga 1155, z68) in the near future and have a question about whether or not i should install ez smart response technology, because i will not be using a ssd, just  2 sata hard drives in raid 0.

Hi

If you are going to be using two or more hard drives in RAID0 then I don't think there is much to be gained from using the Smart Response Technology. This is  a new thing that I am not 100% conversant with but I can't see that you would gain from it in this instance.
