Setting up a RAID array

I have set up RAIDs before but I am having a hard time with doing it on the R5E. I can't seem to get to the correct page to set up the array.

I have two, Samsung 850 SSD's 250 Gb each, and I want to set them up as a RAID 0. This will not be my boot drive.

They are plugged into the top two ports as you look at the motherboard ( no's 1 & 2 I believe)


I have set all of my drives to RAID in the BIOs from ACHI (not my M2 XP41)

I hit Ctrl I as it boots up as the instruction manual says and it just goes into Windows.

So is it Ctrl "I" as in capital I and I have to hold the shift key down?

Is it Ctrl l as in a lower case L?

Is it something else?

What else should I be doing?

Simple, idiot proof directions would be appreciated. Once I get into the setup screen, I hope to be OK but any advice would be appreciated

I went into the BIOS and I think I was able to set it up by pressing F 11 and following the prompts. But it is not being seen in Windows either under Computer or under storage management . I know that Windows can see the drives because I had a Windows RAID set up with it already. But I don't want a Window's RAID.


I wish that Chino, Praz or Raja or ANYONE would help us out here with this.

Hey guys I had the same issue, what I did was go to Boot scrolled down to:
CSM and set it to Auto
Secure Boot "other"

it seems to work when I do that but my problem when I do this is that it will not automatically boot into windows and I have to manually do it from the bios. Weird....

So I reinstalled windows 7 and it still will not load in UEFI mode. Not sure what else to say since sometimes they show up sometimes they dont
