Hello all,
I have 2 Samsung 830 128GB SSD drives that I connected in Raid 0 inside my Asrock z77 extreme9 motherboard.
I installed windows 7 on them and it worked perfectly for a few months.
After some time, all of a sudden I got an error that the raid build has failed.
I switched to a different drive where I had windows installed and noticed that I can't access one of the SSDs.
Both the SSDs appear int he bios and the system identifies them properly.
When I tried to format the SSD I got a message that windows wasn't able to complete the process and failed to format.
I tried to switch between the 2 SSDs, and then all of a sudden everything was working properly again.
After some time, again the issue occurred and I couldn't access the SSD.
I then tried to switch the 2 SSDs with other 2 mechanical HDs I had, and again everything was working fine. (I was able to access all 4 drives with no issues)
I might have not waited enough time to see if in this state one of the HDs (or SSDs) fails or not, and I switched back to the initial state, and again the issue came up.
I'm not really sure what to do next?
where could the problem be? in the Samsung SSD? in the motherboard?
Is there a way to solve this?
I guess I could try and update the bios to the latest version, although it did work for a few months, and according to the release notes of the newer bios version, Asrock didn't release anything new in that area.
Any suggestions and thought?
Thanks
