It seems it's not as simple as you think. When I place this Gigabyte GA-EX58 in RAID mode, it won't allow me to enter the RAID configuration utility for some reason. I hit "ctrl-I" when prompted but, it just goes to the next screen and lists the old 2TB drive with the OS on it and the 3 new 3TB drives as Non-Raid disks and tries to boot Windows 7 then reboots.
I can't set up a software RAID 5 because for some darn MS reason Win7 don't support it. Although the choice for RAID 5 does show up in Disk Management, it's just grayed out and inactive.
