Did you have the machine running fine before making the switch to RAID in the BIOS? I assume the OS in the SSD?
Only the 1TB drives need to be set to RAID if they are the only ones going into the RAID array. The SSD can be left as a standard SATA drive.
Out of interest why do you want the 1TB as RAID0? simply ofr a 2TB drive or doing something that will benefit from some extra speed?
If you are doing a fresh install of windows, its worth loading the RAID drivers at startup, even if you are not putting the OS on the RAID drive. Avoids issues further down the line with hardwre changes one windows is "happy"
Hope that helps a bit! If not, a little more info on your plans please and I'm sure the community will offer some advice
