    SSD for OS and data on HDD in RAID 1 on ASRock H77M


    for my new system (s. specs) I want the SSD be for the OS on SATA3. My data I want on RAID 1 on two of the SAT2 ports. the 2 HDD currently are in a different old PC that still is in use and i can't swap them before i figured this out.

    I installed the SSD in AHCI mode. But now I realized i need to switch it ot RAID in order to use RAID. but when I do that, the OS doesn't seem to start anymore. While googling I learned RAId is some sort of better AHCI and I guess i could have installed the OS while in RAID mode. Is there a way to use RAID without having to re-install all new?

    I know RAID 1 isn't real backup and i also backup daily on separate disk and online. but i like RAID 1 just in case something fails in between.

Hi guys, need some advice. I have win 7 running on RAID 1 using 2 Seagate 750GB hdds... My motherboard is an ASUS P5 series with an onboard Intel Raid chip... So apparently one of the drives went dead and since it's RAID 1 no problem right? Just replace the disk and it will auto rebuild......
Hello! My setup was the following: 60GB SSD - win7 64bit 3TB RAID0 array - data I needed to break down my RAID array so they could be accessed by two other OS. Once I broke down the RAID, Win7 fails to boot. It goes into constant reboots. The thing that REALLY confuses me, is that the...
