I am trying to configure a Raid 1 set on the Secondary SATA (Marvell controller) on the GA-70K -- the grey connectors. I have two 1 TB SATA III drives installed in these ports and they are detected by the BIOS. I have a SSD installed on the chipset SATA III port. OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
I've downloaded and installed the "RAID: Marvell* SATA Driver" from the Intel download page (ver. 1.2.0.1019). However, in the BIOS Secondary SATA Controller Config section, there is no choice to set the Secondary SATA Mode to anything other than AHCI -- there is no dropdown control for this setting (as there is for the Chipset SATA Mode setting), just a static 'AHCI". I would expect to be able to set the secondary mode to RAID here.
I am under the impression that the Marvell controller supports Raid 0 and 1 with the RAID driver. Is this true? Has anybody successfully setup a RAID set on the Secondary SATA?
BIOS is updated to 0057.
Thanks for any help!
