So, about a week or two ago, I installed Windows 7 on a RAID 0 SSD array. After the pain in the ass installation, Windows 7 insisted that I had disk errors and every time on start up it would force me to run a Disk Check, 37 times to be exact, and the results would com back clean. Finally, after running troubling-ly for two weeks, Windows crapped out on me. It would just refuse to boot. I ended up obtaining a copy of Windows 8 Pro, and it installed perfectly. It recognized the RAID array first thing without me having to install any of the AMD drivers, and ever since It has been working flawlessly. Anybody else have an experience similar to this?
