I have a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5TH motherboard with the Series 7 Intel Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller
(reported in Computer Management). Also, a disk, Intel Raid 1 Volume SCSI Disk Device, so all looks good in Computer Management.
I created the array at the BIOS level <CTRL-I> as a RAID 1 using two WD 2002FAEX (2TB) drives. The BIOS had no issue seeing the drives and happily made the array.
My problem is that the Intel Rapid Storage Technology windows console reports the SATA_Array_0000 is Incompatible and is of Type: Unknown.
It offers me no opportunity to create, or manage, or do anything what so ever, although it does report the two underlying drives as 1,863GB and with the Green OK Check mark.
I saw this on 11.7 ... and the same on 12.0.0.1083
Everything looks like it's running perfectly, but the Intel Intel Rapid Storage Technology windows console does not agree.
Any suggestions or explanations?
Regards
