Marc.S Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Dear All, I tried to search the forum but couldn't find any thread related to my problem. The following; I have two Corsair X64 which i want to configure in Raid 0. My Bios detects the drives and i enabled them as RAID drives Then in the Array builder i put them on stripping and block size 128k Everything great until now Then when windows is started no "new hardware" detected message When i go to the Disk management tool the Array is not detected either. Does any of you understand what is going wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Are your RAID drivers already installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc.S Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hi, Should be as my Samsung Array works fine In addition I made some pictures; http://i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy355/marcswinkels/Bios1.jpg http://i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy355/marcswinkels/Bios2.jpg http://i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy355/marcswinkels/Array1.jpg http://i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy355/marcswinkels/Array2.jpg http://i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy355/marcswinkels/Boot.jpg http://i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy355/marcswinkels/discmanager.jpg http://i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy355/marcswinkels/ssd.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 13, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 13, 2009 Have you checked with the controller manufacturer to be sure it will support more than one Raid configuration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc.S Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hi, i disconnected my samsung array (no power lines) and the SSD array was still not found. To answer your question specifically, no i haven't. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 13, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 13, 2009 I would try them on another system to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyc Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 The problem could lie with the Nvidia Raid controller - it is notoriously flakey when it comes to SSDs. I'm not sure if you will be able to use an Intel Raid driver, but I'm sure I've seen somewhere that this is a possibility. I'll have a check around and see if I can't shed some more light on this.

Marc.S Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 I would try them on another system to be sure. I don't think the drives are wrong (i bought two) that would be to much of a coincidence. Somehow there must be something wrong in my windows configuration, just no idea where to look. I tried them also as SATA and then they are also not detected in Windows XP. There should be no issue hooking SSD up with a striker extreme or a 680i nvidia chipset for that matter. Hope you guys can point me in some direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyc Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Yep just as I thought - the problem is with the Nvidia 680i chipset; it flounders at the super fast IO of the SSD and is an issue that many have taken nvidia to task on, however because it is an older chipset the support for it is almost non-existent. I'm not sure what you can do to resolve the problem at this moment but I will keep digging and see what I can unearth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 i could swear i remember reading here that SSD raids work better on the first 2 sata channels. i would swap connectors at the board to let the SSDs be the first two. the raids will still be intact, the signatures written to the pairs will ensure that.

Marc.S Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Ohhh YEAH BABY... Last comment was a winnar. Still it was a huge hastle to get everything working after the SATA swap from 5&6 to 1&2 but it did the trick. You guys (all who tried to help) are really great, thanks a lot http://i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy355/marcswinkels/ssd-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
