Any help of comments would be appreciated- I'll keep this fairly brief- Purchased an ASUS PA328Q monitor because they stated the monitor covers 99.5% of the RGB color space. As a photographer, I'm sure I do not have to explain the importance of the accuracy of my display. After a Spyder 5...

An update if anyone is interested. Now that I could finally see my Raid drives, I ran TestDsk and it found all of my files on the drives. That's the good news. I can pay $79 for the SW license and download them is one option. The other is I can find a solution so that my desktop recognizes...

No worries! I appreciate any input I can get so I appreciate it. If I find a solution I'll post

My apologies. The drives are all set to ACHI. The other option in the dropdown is Intel RST. I didn't want to enable RST until I had some confidence that it wouldn't blow things up again. I guess I can always unhook the two M.2's and leave that old boot drive there and see what happens?

I read that to get into the Intel RST you need to hit CTRL+Shift+I (or something close) but I tired and couldn't boot into it. That left me the conclusion that the Asus bios EZ Wizard must be the primary point on the raid setup. I'll give it another shot though. In the EZ wizard you have two...

Yeah they are on AHCI. When I had to reinstall op sys and updated BIOS they went back. I created a new boot drive from a spare I had because the SSD's weren't recognized without the NVMe drivers. The SSD's (boot) are back up and are running fine. The only missing piece is getting those two...

Yeah, I did read that but figured since it was really a working drive, whats the worst that could happen? My issue was I hadn't backed up in too long. Here's some additional info from the bios that may help. Under the Advanced tab: HDD/SSD Smart Info- Both WDC drives show and both have...

So the good news is I can see both drives in the Bios I just can't access them in Windows before I do anything stupid I wanted to check to see if anyone had experience with Asus Bios since they are all different. The Raid 0 was a working drive not a backup drive. It's just that I hadn't run a...

Okay, ran into a problem and I've been doing a lot of reading on solutions for recovery. Situation: Desktop blue screened and drive was unrecoverable- system down so I basically said it was God's way of telling me it was time to do a clean install and enjoy the fresh new car smell with a fast...

+3 Samsung since I own 3 of them!

Saw it and it's interesting. Short of the real world test it seems to be on the top end all the way around. Not sure what the downside would be? Right now I have one of the 950's setup as the main drive. One is setup as the scratch disk for PS and I've got the two WD's setup in RAID 0 but I'm...

Hey guys I was hoping some of you could chime in with some input on how I should move forward with my storage solutions. I am a photographer that does light video (3 minute promos and only one a month...maybe) Most workflow is on large RAW files around 42 MP's standalone and then over 2+ GB...
