Hi all,
I am posting this hoping that someone has a solution - if a solution is even needed. My motherboard is an Asus P6T Deluxe V2 and I have 2 WD Caviar Black 640GB drives in Raid 0. I also have 1 WD Caviar Black 1TB drive for data storage. I have the raid set through the intel hardware controller on the motherboard. The bios recognizes the raid array and Windows 7 sees the full amount of storage. I am not noticing any performance issues but that doesn't mean everything is actually working as well as it could be working.
When I look in Windows 7 device manager, the raid array only shows as Disk0 with a generic disk driver. If I use the WD utility to look at the drives it sees the 1TB drive with no problems but the array comes back showing as a bunch of funky ASCII characters. The Intel utility loads and shows an array but has no functionality.
I loaded the Intel Raid driver during the OS build but I don't think it is truly functioning - anyone have any helpful thoughts?
Thanks!
