I hope you guys don't mind me hanging a question on the end of this thread, but it is fairly relevant to my problem.
I have an X79-UD5 based system. I have placed my three stand alone drives on the Intel sata ports, including an SSD for the OS on port 0.
I have two 300Gb VelociRaptors configured as raid 0 on the Marvell 6/7 and they are working well.
I then connected two 1Tb WD Blacks to the Marvell 8/9 ports. I set those ports as Raid in BIOS, but when I rebooted to the Marvell Configuration I could only see the first array with the two V'Raptors. Nothing I do seems to give me an option to set up a second array. The drives just arn't there.
If I start windows 7, I can see the two WD Blacks as unlocated in Disk Management, and I could probable set them up as a softwre raid in Disk management, but I would like to use the onboard controller if I could.
Does anyone have any ideas where I am going wrong? I have asked the same question on the Adobe Premiere Pro hardware forum, and there is a wee bit more info in that thread, including Crytal disk mark for the first raid 0 with the two V'Raptors (but no answers yet)
