Title: GA-X58A-UD3R (rev 2.0) RAID10 and SSD problem
Post by: Kotzi on March 05, 2011, 02:17:24 pm
Hi, my hardware is this:

GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R (rev 2.0)
INTEL I7 950
CORSAIR Vengeance 12GB (3 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 CMZ12GX3M3A1600C9
HD 1 TB  SATA3 Western Digital 64 MB Black Edition WD1002FAEX (x4, in RAID 10)
EVGA GeForce GTX 460  1GB GDDR5 256Bit (01G-P3-1366-TR)
OCZ Revodrive PCI-E SSD 120GB
Lian Li PS-A850GE 850w Silent Force 80 Plus Bronze

I update the BIOS to FF's version (because I had the problem with the audio) but the motherboard doesn't recognize the RAID 10 and SSD at the same time.
If I put the SATAs in RAID mode, the motherboard doesn't found the SSD.
If I put the SATAs in ACHI mode, the motherboard recognize the SSD, but I can't use the RAID 10.
The motherboard recognize both with the old BIOS
The HDs are connected to SATA2 ports.

What can I do?... do you have any beta BIOS to use?

It sounds like you are trying to put the SSD and WD together in a raid10 format.

The Revodrive in it's normal mode is two 60gb drives in raid 10 to make one 120gb drive using it's own sandforce raid controller on the pci card so I'm not sure you can raid (combine) it with another drive using the motherboards sata controller.  Keeping it seperate from the WD drive is definitely the fastest way to go.

That would be a good question for the OCZ forums.

I use the Revodrive as the primary operating system drive only.  I don't have another HD installed but do save files on a USB drive.
