ASRock Z68 Intel Speed Response problem

Shaddow · 6 Jun 2011 at 11:14

Ok so I have the ASRock Z68 Board and I have 2 1tb Samsung F3's in raid0 and a 64gb Corsair SSD.

I would like to setup Intel Speed Response for testing but the option is not showing up in the Intel Storage Manager.

I have tried swaping around SATA ports etc, uninstalling & reinstalling rhe Intel Drivers but still no joy.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Note: The Raid configuration on the drives was brought over from when I had an Asus P8P67 Deluxed board. - I'm hoiping I dont have to re-set this up as I dont really have anywhere to back all the data up.

I have updated to the latest bios 1.4 and also the latest ASRock Intel drivers. 10.5.0.1027

I have followed the advice form this page:

Thanks

Only works with a fresh install apparently.

A fresh install of what?..

I've just tried resetting up my raid and that has not worked ;-(

Windows I assume?

Ok The trick seems to be:

1. Set Storage to RAID mode
2. Set drives to Non Raid
3. Install Windows
4. Install Intel Rapid Storage Drivers
5. Use the Intel Rapid Storage Config util to enable Accelerate mode

Nice.. Except I think I've now created a Simple Raid0 again without Accelerate mode; but wont find out till it finishes migrating 1tb data!
