I recently trashed my motherboard (involved a glass of wine). I've ordered a new one from overclockers but it won't arrive until next week. In the meantime I bought a cheap ASUS H81M-PLUS which seems to be working OK. I didn't check for RAID support when I bought it however (assuming they all had it these days) and apparently it doesn't.
Is it correct to say that there's no software RAID solution (Windows 8.1) I can use? The motherboard must support it and that's that?
I have two data drives in RAID-0 from the previous PC that Windows is obviously unable to see (it sees both individual drives, but insists I need to format one of them and put a boot record on the other - my guess is if I do either of those things I'll trash my array).
