hi all,
i need help.
i have :
990fxa-ud7 with F5 bios.
2x agility 3 60GB in raid0
when i disable in bios raid5 option,
my sata connector work in sata 2 mode 3gb/s (raid0 ATTO read/write 500mb/s about)
when i enable raid5 option, windows goes in BSOD
if i reinstall windows with raid5 bios option, same problem BSOD.
if i use one ssd in achi mode, it work in sata3(one SSD ATTO read/write 500mb/s about)
any idea for resolve it? now i stay with raid0 in sata2 mode with the option raid5 disabled.
i use last firmware, last driver and last bios! Q_Q
it's a bug!
PS:
i want raid 0 sata 3 and not raid 5 ...
if i enable raid5 support from bios the controller work in sata3.
if i disable raid5 support from bios the controller work in sata2.
but if i enable raid5 support, windows goes in BSOD!!
sry for english xD
bye
sigh
thanks

I know that with sata 3 ports and ssd's in raid isnt a fully supported option on most ssd's so far. You might want to post in the ssd forum and see if anyone has come up with a fix yet for the sata 3 ports.
It isnt the motherboard if that is what you are thinking. I have been looking into getting ssd drives for a raid 0 config but it isnt supported yet in the ssd firmware and that was about 2 weeks ago i was studying it. I use regular hard drives in a raid 0 config for the speed and wont go to ssd until they support raid 0 on the sata 3 ports.
Goolge it you may find some help i see one person that was able to do it though not sure it is reliable.

Sorry but my ssds with asrock mb work good in sata3 and raid0... this is a mb problem.
AND if i use marvell controller raid0, ssds work good in sata3 mode.
It's a problem of MB and not of my ssds.
I add this:
On a forum I read that had the same problem(on 990fxa-ud5) and solved by enabling the raid5 in the bios(strange but could be a bug in the bios), even if used only raid0.
This change made it possible to correctly use the SATA3 raid0.
The problem is that if I do I enable support raid5, windows crashes and BSOD
(I use google translate)

Then the best thing to do is open a support tickett with gigabyte and see what they have to say they might have a beta bios that addresses the problem or might be able to tell you if they are working on one. I saw where in a different forum that they had one working with a asrock though it was different ssd's i think.
Open a support ticket.

Hi there,
I am running the GA-FXA-UD5 with a pair of ADATA 511's 60GB SSD's in a RAID0 Array without a problem. I have left the RAID5 option enabled as it does seem to improve read/write speeds.
Have you tried using the F6e BIOS found here: http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3880&dl=1#bios to see if that helps?

Hi again,
I'm not sure why you're having this issue and sadly I only have the UD5 not the UD7 so I can't compare like for like.
I did go through setting up a RAID0 Array on the GA-990FXA-UD5 in my living review here: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,5704.msg45816.html#msg45816 and it might be worth looking at to see if this may help pinpoint what the problem is.
