So I just picked up a couple of Samsung 840 EVOs and set them up in a RAID 0 array. I then downloaded Samsung Magician software, and when I launch it - it tells me I don't have any Samsung SSDs connected to my system. It's able to see my RAID 0 volume though...I guess it just doesn't see the drives as Samsung?

So I called up Samsung support and the guy told me I wasn't missing out on anything...LOL

Did a couple of web searches, and I see people have this issue when they're connecting via USB or using a 3rd party controller. I'm simply using the on board controller, my drives are connected directly to my board, and I have Intel RST installed. What gives? Am I really not missing out on anything by not getting to optimize my drives?
 
Trim function does not work in RAID0 either. You will have to optimize the drive manually every so often.

EDIT:
Here's a good read for ya.
