Gigabyte GA-B250M-D3H RAID Missing

[raptess]

I just installed a new GA-B250M-D3H mainboard and after the initial boot it had the "Press CTRL-I" to enter RAID setup.
It then said the HDDs I had were unsuported by the RAID controller and wanted me to reset the HDD to normal mode. (I asumed it was because I had them in RAID on an older mainboard)
So I let it do the reset, at which time both HDD then showed as Compatible. However I could not proceed with the setup and I had to Reboot.

This is where the problem now lies ..

There is no longer any options in the BIOS for RAID setup (Although I do not know if it was there originally either as it boot straight into the RAID menu 1st time), nor does the bootup give me the "Press CTRL-I" to enter RAID setup mode.

I have updated to the latest BIOS and still no options.
I have re-connected the HDD to my old MB and all the RAID options are working.

After Googling for the past 3 hours, I have found ZERO info to shed any light on this problem.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried resetting BIOS on motherboard?

The Z270 and H270 chipsets support RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10.

The B250 Express Chipset that you have supports:
Intel RST With Intel Optane System Acceleration
This Enables Intel Optane Technology support for the SATA controllers.
-or-
AHCI

You bought the wrong motherboard for RAID.

Thanks Calvin, I had thought this may be the case after hours of googling and not finding anything to support RAID on this chipset.
I find it very strange that it actually boot the 1st time to the RAID manager though, then its gone forever ..

Oh well .. Live and Learn ..

Back to my original MB for now and I will order a new one that does support it ...
