Today I bought a 2nd ssd so I could take advantage of the raid 0 feature but ran into a few problems.
I am using an asrock extreme7 gen3 mobo, entered the bios and set raid on the storage configurator, once saved and exited bios I press ctrl & I to acces the raid options screen and nothing happens.
If anyone can give me any help on how to go about setting up raid would be much appreciated :)
The ssds I'm using is x2 ocz agility 3 60gb.
Thanks
 
Cheers for the help guys I have now managed to set the drives to raid but now having difficulties installing windows.
I installed win7 x64 then started installing my mobo drivers which didn't go so well as I was prompted that 1 ssd had failed and now bootmgr is missing :/ so will I need to download the latest raid drivers from intel to prevent this?
Cheers

Edit: the problem was I had 1 of the Sata cables in the wrong port

I unplugged all my other storage devices except the 2 ssd's I'm trying to use for raid.
I have made a little progress, I can install windows to the raid drives but after about 10mins 1 of the drives fail and I have to reinstall win7 which is making me think it's possibly a driver error but the raid driver i downloaded from intel isn't showing up when I press f6 to load drivers when installing win7.... I did unzip the file aswell before attempting to load
It's just 1 problem after another
 
I have managed to install the driver I downloaded at windows 7 install screen it turns out I have a faulty memory stick :( luckily I had a spare one.
I am just installing the motherboard drivers from the disc I received with the mobo I will keep you posted on what happens
 
After installing the mobo drivers and restarting system for changes to take effect the boot up screen says failed to load os, after a few restarts windows boots as normal so I suppose I'm going to have to live with restarting my system several times before windows boots
