I have an asus p9x79-e ws board. I ran into the following issue with this hardware loaded.
CPU-Xeon 2687w
Memory-F3-12800CL10Q2-64GBZL(G. Skill 64GB 1600)
GPU-GTX 680
RAID Card-Areca ARC-1882-ix-24
Hard Drives-2x Samsung 830 series 512GB
I can create a pass through disk no problem with the samsung ssd. When trying to create a RAID with the 2 samsungs everything goes ok in the Areca BIOS screen but upon reboot the RAID is gone. I have tested with 2 Intel 600GB ssds and various hard drives no issues.
I can confirm there was no issues with the hardware on a asus p9x79 ws board. Only thing that has changed is the board. I can also create a RAID with the samsungs on different motherboards. Only commonality is this asus board.
I am not sure what else I can test to narrow it down other than the board having an issue with a RAID containing this ssds. I have asked ASUS for help but after giving them this information they said it must be an issue with the RAID card or the ssds.
I just want to see if anyone can provide any insight as to what I might be missing that would be causing this issue or what else I can tell ASUS to help them offer a solution. I have also tried several of these boards all have the same issue. I have also upgraded the BIOS to the latest and they have even offered Betas for the BIOS which have not yielded any positive results.
I appreciate any help you can offer. I am open to suggestions for testing as this machine is not in use in its current state until I can figure out a solution. Thank you.
