i tried setuping this up.
- SSD with windows to boot on
- 2 x 2T Hard Drive
When i switched my sata configuration in my bios to Raid to configure the other disks, my main boot ssd stoped working. It seems my ssd will only boot if the sata configuration is set to AHCI but i need to set the sata configuration to Raid to enable raid ?!?
What i did is setup the sata configuration back to AHCI and then i made software Raid 0 in windows.
Is this the proper way of doing so, do i still get the performances of a hardware raid ?
PS: Running Asus motherboard

Event tho my os is on a ssd that is not in the raid ? – Mathieu – 2014-12-01T21:55:33.643
Yup. It's about the drivers for the drive controller, not the drives themselves. Since they are all using the same controller they will all be affected when you change the mode the controller runs in (ie: AHCI to RAID). – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-12-01T21:57:47.410
Yes in that case my question a duplicate of the other one you linked. Thanks for the answer ! – Mathieu – 2014-12-01T21:58:44.280
No problem, sorry I didn't have better news. :) – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-12-01T21:59:14.833
