I have a evga 730i and 3 x seagate 1.5 tb and I'm trying to do raid 5. I go in the bios set the sata controller to raid, set up the array, build it and it looks good. I can reboot and it verifies the array good etc ... The problem is when I go into windows 7 and setup the partition I gpt and format to ntfs, on next reboot the bios says that the array is degraded, I've tested and this only happens after I do the format. Win 7 will still read 2.7 tb but I'm not sure if its gettng all the drives. I'm thinking of doing a software raid in win 7 but not sure, what will happen when its time to install for real and i have to format? Will I be able to reinitialize the array? 3 tb's is alot to loose so if you have a comment please be sure, id hate in august to loose all my stuff ... but please do comment, I need help / feedback / anything I'm lost and frustrated.

kinda a cheap motherboard for raid, especially raid5. if you wanted raid 5, should get a quality controller, meaning not on a motherboard as a minimum. plus, are these seagates the desktop drives? for raid 5, you should be using the enterprise ES series.
why do you want raid 5 anyways?
