On the other hand sandforce based ssds scale really well in RAID 0. I say do it. Might have to reformat from time to time but I'm sure you're up to it.

Certainly your mobo can handle it although I myself have only dabbled in intel matrix raid.

I have tried and it will see it in the bio's but not in file manager
 
Did you format it? File manager will not see raw storage space or unformatted partitions.

Formatting is done through Disk Management, via Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer Management, or through command-line utilities like fdisk, or graphical utilities such as EASEUS.
 
Then I don't know. Does is show up in Device Manager as a disk, and in Disk Management?

I'm assuming that all the drives are attached to the "southbridge," not the Jmicron controllers, or you could not have built the array in BIOS.

I don't know if you need a RAID driver or not - I would think not.

As I wrote at first, I don't know. Next poster, please.

Tired of messing with it so I did go out and buy a WD Caviar Black 1TB 7,200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 64meg's of cache
Now I'm having to fight with it just to get it back to seeing the Two Micro Center "Re-Badged" ADATA S599 2.5 SATA SSD 64GB Hard drives running RAID 0 again LOL and added a 170mm fan...
Thank you all for your time and help.....
