Just got 2 brand new samsung spinpoint 750gig hd's, plugged them into my aging Chaintech 7NJL6 Mobo's SATA's (yeah i know it only supports 1.5gb/s) and fired up the raid utility built into the nforce2 chipset that i've never used.
Problem is though It will only see one drive, and will not allow me to start setting up a RAID array.
I have enabled RAID in the integrated peripherals part of the bios, and enabled it on the SATA0 and SATA1 channels. The weird part is the drives don't show up in bios un til i manualy autodetect them, then it says not found and i exit back to the "STANDARD CMOS FEATURES" page and it then displays the IDE 2 and 3 channels as both "SAMSUNG HD753LJ" which is correct. The drives when booted with another drive as master show up as functioning drives of unpartitioned space.
The first thought that comes to mind for me is that i should use some pin settings on these to adjust them to a master slave relationship, or lower them to 1.5 manualy? but their tiny manuals say nothing of the sort and they came without pins (are the hd pins no longer used on SATA? since its all supposedly done automatically maybe?).
Thanks for the help.
