RAID problem

[Atonus]

Hi guys,

 

So I wanted to set up my new Laptop, a Dell Latitude E6440 (Win 7 64bit, Mobile QM87 chipset, BIOS Dell Latitude version A.07, i7-4810QM, 16Gb RAM, 4600HD graphics, 2 x 250 Gb Samsung EVO SSD). 

However I encountered the following problem: 

 

When trying to create a RAID 0 array with the 2 SSDs my BIOS and/or Intel's RST doesn't even give me a RAID 0 option. The only thing I can do, is create a recovery volume, which is basically a more flexible RAID 1. Both drives were recognized and are fully functional.

I downloaded all the latest drivers and enabled the "RAID on" option in the BIOS. 

 

I really don't know what to do at this point of time and I'm quite desperate, so please, anybody, help!

 

I'd be very grateful for any kind of input on what to do...

Chances are the chipset doesn't support it if it isn't showing in BIOS...

As far as I know, the QM87 chipset supports RaID 0,1,5,10 out of the box

Why? You won't be able to use all the benefits of the Magician software with a RAIN setup. And there's very little benefit to a RAIN except in benchmarks. Just run your boot disk as a standalone.
