Asus X99-A II Raid 0 doesn't start... sometimes

Hey,
I just built a new machine (my first build, so I don't know what I'm doing) with an Asus X99-A II MB with 3 SSDs (C,D,E... which work fine) and 2 WD Black 2TB in Raid0 for my video files (It's a video edit machine). Everything works great except the Raid0 doesn't show up in Win10 sometimes. Sometimes on re-start it won't show up but a shutdown/restart will work. Not quite sure where else to look. I've replaced the cables, DL'd the Asus Intel Raid drivers, etc. Am I missing something in the BIOS?
Any ideas?

Thanks!
 
In case anyone else has the same issue, this is what fixes it! 🙂
- Try connecting the drives to a different controller than your C drive.Set RAID drives to Controller 01 and SSDs to controller 02
- Set controller 01 to "RAID Mode" in the BIOS, controller 2 to AHCI
- Enable "Hot Plug on your SATA port in the BIOS
- Disable "Fast Boot" in the BIOS
- Disable "Intel Smart Connect" in the BIOS
- Change "Aggressive LPM Support" to Auto OR disabled in the BIOS
- Enable "S.M.A.R.T. Status check" in the BIOS
- Make sure to ENABLE "Hot Plug" on each SATA port for those 2 hard drives. That's VERY important.
