I have picked up a second intel x25-M 80g ssd and plan to raid 0 the two. I asked questions in forums, watched utube vids, read up on all the parts and process but i can not get Raid 0 to work. I will post my specs at the bottom of the page.
My first intel 80g ssd has been in use as a os boot drive for about 4 months. The other intel 80g drive is brand new, just formatted and completely empty. All my drives are seen by the windows and i have access to all drives. All drives are in good working conditon other than a pos 250g that i have been packing around with me for several years, its got over 25000 hours and shows as failing but still works well.
My sata ports are filled as listed:
sata0 old 80g ssd
sata1 new 80g ssd
sata2 250g pos failing drive
sata3 40g ssd
sata4 wd green 1tb 6gb/s model
sata5,6,7 empty
All drives are seen in post and bios. When i set the sata 0-1 to raid and re-start both my drives disappear but i can still move onto raid utility and can see my only to spinner drives but no ssds.
