Hello all,
I recently built a complete new system using a 4670k and Maximus IV Hero mobo and installed my OS (Win7) on single 840 Evo. I have an older HDD that I used for storage that I hooked up last week and everything worked just fine. Then I tried to add my two older Vertex 2 60gig SSD's in a RAID 0 setup and my computer won't load the OS. I have tried moving around the SATA ports that the drives use but haven't found one that produces different results. I also used my Hero's SecureErase utility to clean the Vertex drives before trying.
Basically it is having trouble with 4 drives, 2 in RAID, 2 in a non-raid setup (one of which holds my OS). I have looked around on the forums here and done some Google searching and have not come across something with my same issue. Should I start over and put my OS on the RAID array and just use the 840 Evo as supplemental space? Or does anyone know how I can set up a RAID array to work as purely supplemental storage space?
I wanted to put the OS on the 840 Evo initially because I figure it has the lowest probability of failure and I have had some issues in the past with the Vertex's (could have been my old mobo though). Any information would be awesome, thanks!
