<div>
Non the formatted, they are right out of the box. &nbsp;I haven't been back there yet to try anything, ill try today.<br />
<br />
Gerald, I thought fake raid was software raid. &nbsp;I would do that but it's going to be an esxi server and I don't think they have that option.

<div>
thanks guys, I tried the other ports &nbsp;no go, then I saw I hadn't updated the mb firmware, I thought I did, anyhoo, after that all was well, raid happend and esxi is on its way to this box.

No FakeRAID is the Software assisted Hardware RAID controllers that are built-in on the motherboard - they are notorious for cuasing problems and losing data.<br />
True Software RAID such as RAID-1 in Windows is more reliable and can also give better performance!

<div>
Oh, thanks, but with VMWare I don't think that is an option.

Gerald, is like an onboard Perc Dell controller still Fake RAID? &nbsp;They have given me issues in the past. &nbsp;Do you have recomendations on a 300 dollar or so RAID controller for raid 1for just ssd drives, not san disks.<br />
<br />
Thanks a ton.

Hi I got an Asus computer new that supports raid, I was trying to setup two ssd 2 Teribite drives in mirrored mode. &nbsp;I go to the EZ Tuning Wizard, then switch from OC to RAID, it allows me to choose SATA after that I get no avalable disk drives. &nbsp;They are in and the bios sees them, just not in the RAID menu.<br />

Thanks a ton.

Asus RAID problem

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks.

RAID is data storage technology that allows multiple drives to be used together as a single virtual drive for reasons such as fault tolerance, reliability and performance. 

There are several different levels of RAID that determine how the data is stored and the level of redundancy achieved across the drives.

RAID

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
