I'm trying to set up my hard drives as follows:
SSD - OS & Apps
2 Samsung F3's - RAID 0 - Media, files, etc.
Hitachi 2TB - Backup & storage
So here's the problem I'm having. I just reformatted the SSD and both Samsungs. Set the SATA mode to RAID. I created the RAID set. Then went to install windows on the SSD and it doesn't detect it. Still shows up in the BIOS and everything, but it won't show up as an option to install windows on. I set SATA mode back to AHCI and it still doesn't detect it. Not sure what to do. I know you normally want an SSD on AHCI, but then you can't have RAID active. I have the ASUS P8Z68 V-Pro MOBO by the way. Any ideas how why its not showing up?
I don't know if this could effect anything or not but this is how I have them connected:
SATA6G_1 (Gray) - Samsung F3
SATA6G_2 (Gray) - Samsung F3
SATA3G_3 (Blue) - Intel SSD
SATA3G_4 (Blue) - Hitachi
I don't have anything in the SATA6G_E1/E2 (Navy Blue) Marvell ports. I really don't know if I should have connected those different or not. ANY advice on all of this is greatly appreciated!
