Posted July 25, 2014 So after my raid 0 boot volume failed recently, I discovered that one of the ssds seems to be broken since it's not showing up in the bios anymore. However when I try to install Windows (8) on the other ssd (that is detected in the bios) it doesn't show up within the windows installation. Loading the raid sata drivers from the mb disc didn't help. AApart from ahci I also tried raid and I've, no difference. However when connected to another pc the drive works perfectly fine... Any ideas? Personal Build Project "Rained-On" helped building up the CPU Overclocking Database and GPU Overclocking Database, check them out ;) #KilledMyWife #MakeBombs #LinusIsNotFunny || Please, dont use non-default grey font colors.

Any ideas? yea looks like the mobo you are using is really goner Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Posted July 25, 2014 Try different SATA ports, enable hotplugging on a port then plug the drive into it while on (but dont remove it while on if it doesn't show up), or consider updating the motherboard BIOS if other of the same boards have had that problem.

Posted July 25, 2014 Author yea looks like the mobo you are using is really goner haha... Im running a Rampage IV Black Edition Try different SATA ports, enable hotplugging on a port then plug the drive into it while on (but dont remove it while on if it doesn't show up), or consider updating the motherboard BIOS if other of the same boards have had that problem. alright I am going to try this, btw I am running the lates bios revision of the R4BE 0801. But I might as well trying to "update" to an earlier bios, as this also helped in the past thanks for your input so far, guys Personal Build Project "Rained-On" helped building up the CPU Overclocking Database and GPU Overclocking Database, check them out ;) #KilledMyWife #MakeBombs #LinusIsNotFunny || Please, dont use non-default grey font colors.

Posted July 25, 2014 haha... Im running a Rampage IV Black Edition Unexpected failures happen and using a high-end part x doesn't rule that out as the problem. Hence "unexpected". Not blaming the mobo, but I'd say it's too early to rule out just because it's high-end. That being said, see if you can make a live distro of ubuntu, boot into that on the problematic PC, and check the SSD out from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not really experienced with Ubuntu, however I connected both ssds of my former raid 0 volume to another windows machine in my house. I did a few S.M.A.R.T. tests with various programs and all of them said the drives would be 100% healthy. Funny, because the next day one of the drives wasnt even detected anymore and seems to have completely died, and the other one, well seems to be only semi-working. Would using a live distro of ubuntu have any benefits compared to the checks I can do with windows?

Doing checks in a live distro enables you to rule out certain things as the cause. If you can boot into a live disk like a USB (LiLi USB Creator will help with that), check the drive from there. If you can, that rules out the motherboard as being the cause for not being able to install on it. If that's the case, it may be a BIOS setting or a bug in windows. Unlikely since you stated it works in another machine. If you can't read or see the disk in Ubuntu either, then I'd say the Mobo is acting up.
