Just did a massive clean out of my computer and before it I installed one of my new crucial drives to see if it worked. Well I plugged it into one of two of my marvel 6GB ports and it wouldn't show up in my computer then I dissconected my main drive ( F3 1tb ) and botted with the SSD in one of the SATA 2 ports. I stalled windows onto it then it booted fine so I then put my 1TB back in and both showed up in my computer. I then ran a benchmark and the scores seemed to saturate after 250MB rather than go up like a ladder so I put the SSD into the 6gb port and all booted fine and the scores seemed a good bit better but not quite the recommended on the box :(

Someone said to give the marvel controller a try and see how it works but how do I get the second SSD to show up in my computer so that I can put stuff on it. It shows up in the BIOS?

How do I get the second drive to show up without installing windows on it?

When both are showing up should I try them in RAID? Would like to as the speeds might be ok ( Hit and a miss with this controller I've heard ) ?

How do I set up Raid and how would I wipe my 1TB drive (when im finished)?


Thanks and sorry for spelling typing this in a rush :P
