Windows Doesn't See Array Sometimes

[Lurick]

I got a fun question for people that's left me scratching my head.

I've got two drives in RAID but there's like a 75% chance when I fresh boot from power off that Windows will not detect the array. The RAID BIOS sees both drives and says the RAID is fine, the BIOS sees both drives both in the manager and at boot sequence. HOWEVER, when I reboot windows and it comes back, it sees the array just fine, no issues until I shutdown the computer again and power it back on at which point I'm back where I started.

 

Windows does not see the array or even just regular drives in disk management either.

Try going to Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do > Turn "Fast Startup" OFF.

I've long since disabled that unfortunately so no luck there

Late reply but I fixed it.

The SATA cables were strained too much and since the SSDs don't have places for the locking clips to grab onto, one of them was slowly falling out. After redoing the cables they've been fine for the past couple weeks with no issue
