Hello everybody.. hope some1 will help me :)

i have a problem with the following configuration

ASUS P5KC
Intel core 2 duo E6750
HighPoint RocketRAID 2320 controller
3 x WD Raptor 150gb

the problem is that the 3 disks are not recognized by the RAID controller BIOS.

i tried to plug another disk (not a raptor) and it's detected properly, and the raptor disks works couse connecting it directly to a motherboard sata port it works properly.

I dunno how to fix it :(
do you know if there is any issue with this controller combined with the WD raptor 150gb?

any suggestion?

thnx in advice for the help

the raptor x (ahfd) has the clear casing, along with a slightly older firmware version, the standard raptor 150 (adfd) has the newest firmware, but a solid case.
