WOW You're right, i've learned something today, thanks !! Now for your problem, you need V11 or higher of the intel rapid storage and a Z77 chipset

So download V11.6 here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=21852

Restart, Put your Motherboard SATA to RAID, Install the drivers, restart and all the settings will be in a control panel in your taskbar (it take 30 seconds to launch so wait a little) Then you'll see you RAID array in there and all the settings you have will be here (just click on the array)

**Read the instructions on the intel website i've just linked... If you don't have floppy, copy this to a usb key and start from the usb key
