Hello people, I hope you guys can help me with this trouble I'm having.

I own this msata SSD CMT-256L3M manufactured by Lite-On, this SSD its actually two CMT-128L3M with a Marvell 889175 controller each.

I have a simple desktop with a gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H and one msata adapter with this SSD (this one).

But my motherboard only sees one "side" of my adapter. And I cant get this working on RAID.

My question is: how to make this work properly as one 256GB SSD? The only thing a dont wat do do is replace my motherboard, can I get it working with one of these (this one)?

Thank you for the attention and sorry for my bad english!
 
The simple answer is that you cant - it is 2 distinct disks on a single module - this has benefits for IO or data security if the drives are mirrored.
Take a look at this link - also gives some background to the issue.

To see all the disks together you will need 2 controllers, you could invest in a RAID controller to then see both disks. But I think that this hardware is pretty unique to specific laptops..
