Hi
I've been running two SSD's in RAID0 for some time now, but Windows 8 is plaguing me with occassional freezes and finally given up hope today. I'm not sure if this is hardware, software/driver problems or just crap on my PC.
Anyway, reading up on things today, people report that making sure your SATA drives are running in AHCI fixes some of the W8 freezing issues. So, due to the fact I can't set up RAID and AHCI on my mobo, I feel I may as well sacrifice the RAID setup and just run in AHCI mode...
Here is the problem. In the BIOS, if I configure AHCI and then check the sata ports, both 60gb drives show up. If I go to the Windows installer, only one appears...
Am I missing something, or is this due to them being previously configured as a RAID?
Saying this, I've remembered both drives are plugged into my onboard RAID controller, so putting them back into normal SATA slots may fix this...
However, if there is something I'm really not understanding, please let me know!
PS. All OS installers have always been really, really slow to load on my machine. Any idea why?
