    Rosewill RC-200 raid card issues with Windows 7


    Hi,

    First post.. I just installed Windows 7 and for the most part all went ok. The only issue I seem to be having concerns my Rosewill RC-200 IDE raid card. Card works fine as an IDE card. However, I cannot get the raid functions to work.

    The card uses a “Silicon Image SiI 0680 ATA-133 Medley Raid Controller” chipset. The only thing I found a bit odd about the install was that W7 recognized the card and installed its own drivers instead of asking for drivers supplied by the manufacture. Not sure if this is an issue or not, but I have had to remove the raid set for now until I figure out what is wrong

    Most of my hardware is new, MSI 770-C45 mobo, EVGA 9500GT video, Rosewill RC-200 PCI card.
    I plan on calling the manufacture on Monday but thought I would check to see if anyone else has had this particular problem.
    Regards,
    Danny

    Bump... Anyone... I noticed that the driver version reported by W7 is 1.0.5.0 while the manufacture shows only 1.0.1.7 as being the latest.

    Any thoughts...

    Update the driver. Even with the discrepancy in version numbers, I would try what the manufacturer shows. The worst that would happen is that the raid still won't work.

Well, I've searched now for several days and played with every setting I can think of, but still can't coax better than average performance out of a recent install of RAID 0 using an Silicon Image 3132 based PCI-e (x1) Sata2 card (should have bought the UD3LR!).

This is a bit unusual, and I've not anyone discussing this before. I changed my older MSI motherboard to a newer one. I had RAID on the old one using an expansion card; but the new mobo has a built-in RAID, so I hooked up the drives (SATA) directly to it. AFter establishing the RAID, it looks...
