Hi -- sorry all, I posted this in the Motherboard forum but think I should have posted it here instead. Hope someone can help...
I've just built a new Windows 8.1 setup on a Gigabyte 970A-DS3P motherboard. I have the OS and programs on an SSD. I now want to create a two disk RAID 1 array for data. I'd rather do this through BIOS than through Windows Disk Manager (I think performance/stability is better).
I can't see any specific advice on how to do this. The BIOS only seems to offer the possibility of enabling RAID on all disks. Will this wipe the existing SSD drive? Should I just give up and use Windows RAID?
(I have a separate external HDD for backups -- this is just for redundancy).
Any suggestions? Thanks.
