recently i had an issue with a harddrive dropping from the array. the harddrive is fine, the array failed it. i guess. i dont know. it popped up in the raidxpert as a spare drive, but wouldnt do an auto-rebuild.. and i dont know why it dropped from the array to begin with.
i decided to end that bs, and transferred all my data off to an external drive and make the 2 drives into a software raid array within windows. tbh, i'm really happy with this move. after i enabled NCQ on the drives, (under raidxpert), and set them up as a software mirroring array, they seem to be much more consistent in sequential transfer speeds.
now, i have no need of being in "raid" mode, and would like to move to AHCI Mode. as is, i can't monitor SMART of the drives in RAID mode.
when i tried enabling AHCI mode, the computer crashed while loading into windows.
i've seen several posts detailing how to move from IDE to AHCI, on an intel P35 platform. nothing for raid->AHCI.
