Hi,
I recently got a vector 128gb from ocuk, loved it so nipped my local shop and got another one to try out raid for my first time.

Spec

Asus sabertooth z77 and 3770k using intel 6gbs ports
8gb Crucial smart tracers 1866mhz.
Intel Rapid Start Technology Software V2.1.0.1002 + newer drivers

System is rock solid oc'd, have allso tried a few new instals at default settings.

First it was hard to get the Intel raid controller to work, seems the bios i was using was unstable ( found out later on ).

It eventually showed and i was able to raid my 2 ssd's and procceed to instaling windows.
First time out of windows i had bluescreen and the OS would'nt load.

Formatted in windows installer and instaled again.
This time farcry 3 worked ect, later on i tried my wheel with a game, the wheel would crash the games, later games would'nt start followed by steam noonger working aswell as some otther apps, somethings still worked.

Formatted again this time nothing would work hardly, flash would'nt install, steam installed but would'nt start ect.

Tryed to switch to non raid mode in bios to test the new ssd out but could'nt get rid of raid even though i was on ahci in bios.

Tryed a new bios and the raid when enables disabled works everytime.


Over the course of 12 hours i formatted around 13 times, wether that was to individual ssd or to raid and with new bios, issue's still persisted and as i'd put loads of hours into it with issues i had to forget it before i blew up.

So i had to just have my new ssd's on there own port and none raid which works perfect on the new ssd as it has Os on it.


I've never used raid so have no clue what was happening, anybody any idea's


Thankyou
 
Issue seems tobe fixed now, could'nt resist another go at raid, seems asus website has a few intel rst drivers and i had picked one that messed things up ;)
 
Yeah, lets see some benches, I'd like to compare with these Vectors. 2xVertex3 120GB Raid0:

Sorry i can't at the moment, pc died again last night reboot, then went none raid again and installed to new drive, booted to a black screen with mouse pionter, now drive is dead, does'nt show in bios, windows and loading from bios takes forever with faulty drive attached.
Off to grab a replacement later.
I managed to back everythiung up to my vertex 4 and have formatted it by accident, what a terrible week it has been, all games saves gone ect, wounded

Had a really bad month, faulty Benq w710st, faulty t500 r wheel and now fauly ssd, all new aswell, looks tobe the month of misery lol

D**n that sucks m8. The drive(s) seem to have been struggling since day one, really bad news for OCZ. Good luck with the replacement, hope to hear good news soon. Good luck ;)
