i'm owning alienware m17x r3 notebook (hm67 motherboard)
i've bought 128gb plextor m5s drive with hopes to use it with RST

i've set RAID mode in bios, ssd has no partitions on it
at first i attached it to eSATA port, but "acceleration" tab didnt show up
then i connected it to sata0 and sata1 ports with no success at reaching the tab
i've changed bios firmware back and forth and reinstalled drivers in different combinations but still no use

i also have tried it with kingston v300 ssd drive, with only difference, it was not detected in bios when connecting with eSATA
 


What does the "Status" indicate? Any tips in the "Manage" sub-section?

From the Help file:
Quote:
The 'Status' area provides a general state of health of your storage system. If a status other than normal is reported, the Manage sub-section will be available to provide you with basic information and actions links necessary to return the status to normal.
