I'm a massive newbie to raid and after 5 hours of forum reading I'm reaching out for help.
My new build is on a Maximus vi hero mobo and I have a crucial M4 256gb ssd I planned to use as a boot drive. The computer will have two barracuda 3tb drives configured to raid 0. I plan to do alot of video editing and im not bothered about the likeyhood of the drives failing before anyone mentions that. My problem is I have no idea what I'm doing.
I've read a number of Articles that suggest you unplug the raid drives before installing windows. I set the bios to RAID mode installed the OS on the SSD and it all booted fine. I ran all updates and went to the mobo website to download the latest storage manager and sata controllers. I then boot up and use Ctrl - I to create my raid array but then I can't boot. For some reason I can't see my M4 in the bios boot priority options.
If someone step by step guide me through the process I'd be so appreciative, I'm clearly in a massive muddle.
Thanks in advance
