Raid 0 Disappeared

mattyg · 31 Mar 2013 at 19:25

Just booted up my PC and one of my RAID 0 arrays has gone.

Disk management doesnt see it. Is there any other checks i can do before stripping the rig down and rebuilding.

Thanks

Using mobo raid? Check the raid manager when booting up before bios (ctrl+i if i remember correctly).

No using software I set it up using Win7 Disk management

I have 3 Raid0 and only 1 has disappeared.

I have had issues with the SATA ports before. And I assume that if I've got 1 dodgy connection then I wont be able to see either of the 2 drives

As i was stripping it down to investigate a SATA lead popped out completely. So replaced with another and the drive is back.

I need a better bigger case with better cable management

Ok its gone again..

So its not the cable.

How do I check whether its the sata ports.

Can I just move the cable to another port? Or will that confuse the RAID
