I've just installed a ASUS Rampage III Extreme with a pair of WD Velociraptor 1TB HDD attached to it's SATA ports. I planned to turn them into a RAID 1 as my boot drive. However, whenever I look at the in the BIOS, or the RAID utility, they show as IDE instead. I've updated my controller drivers, and tried to change the drive type in BIOS, but neither helped. Using Windows 7, I can make them a RAID 0, but it turns it into a dynamic drive that I cannot boot from. WD has some IDE RAID fix, but Windows 7 won't run it, even in compatability mode. Any ideas for a fix?
I'm tempted to just RAID them in Windows and direct all my software and games to install there, but I don't know what that will do for my performance.
