Hi Intel Community,
I am having an issue ever since setting up a raid 0 using Intel RST with 2 Western Digital 750GB Sata 3 7200RPM BLACK hard drives model: WD7500BPKX. Upon reboots or shutdowns I am consistently getting an error in the raid bios stating the volume as FAILED and one of the disk as a non-member. However upon press Ctrl+I to enter the bios the raid volume shows up as normal as it should with both HDD as part of the raid. If I let the system continue to boot into windows I get an error in the Intel RST software stating raid volume inaccessible and given option to reset to normal. When I reset to normal and go into windows disk management the drive comes back online and an able to access it in windows explorer. I have ran Seatools Short generic test on both hard drives when they where not part of the raid and both drives passed, furthermore both drives are new bought off amazon. There is occasions on reboot where the raid array shows normal and boots into windows no problem without having to reset the volume to normal. Any troubleshooting assistance I can get on this would be appreciated, my thoughts so far is pointing to a bad raid controller dont know if I could fix this one without a whole motherboard though and that wouldnt be worth it to me. The problem doesnt appear to be Intel RST drivers in windows seeing how the volume is being show as failed at the bios level.
