CorerMaximus Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hello! I plan on getting another SSD [Diwali Discounts FTW :D:] for a RAID 0 setup and had a question after reading about such guides- What causes a drive to drop out of a RAID 0 configuration [using the ports on a P8z77 V Pro motherboard, not a dedicated RAID controller] and how can the risks be minimized? Are the reasons for a SSD dropping out of RAID the same for a HDD as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 There are a lot of causes that can cause a drive to drop out. e.g. bad SATA data cable or power cable, bad connections, faulty SSD, faulty ports, etc. Things i would consider if you want to minimize risks; 1.Make sure the connectors (SATA data and power) are not pulling on the connectors on the SSD. 2. Make sure the SSD firmware are both the same. Note:Some SSDs have a different FW e.g. 5.20 which is not available. While it is not recommended, the RAID array may still work as normal. 3. Make sure the BIOS is updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
