Hi.

I own P77P5 - LX motherboard, i bought two OCZ Agility 3 SSD. I plugged them into motherboard with SATA III cables. They were detected fine.

First attempt, entered BIOS and chose RAID over IDE. Then booted Windows 7 -> Control panel -> Administrative Tools -> Disk Management. I setup the two drives as striped in NTFS format, they change colour and become one. I insert Windows 7 installation disk in CDROM drive, then reboot. During install i cannot pick my new striped dynamic drive.

Second attemp, after reading someone's post which stated; separate the drives, install W7 on one then strip it with the other. I followed this procedure after separatin the drives, making them 'unallocated'. After install i try to strip them, option is gray.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG, PLEASE ADVISE.

Thank you.
 
Hi, i resolved the installation, turns out it was CTRL + i. My motherboard is the ASUS P7P55 LX.

I should theoretically get x2 i/o sequential, so why am i coming up short? I'm getting about 500mbps io.
 
It is installed as a striped volume in RAID 0 using ASUS firmware. Windows also recognises it as a continous logical stripped version of the two drives.
