RAID 1 active but Intel Rapid Storage doesn't?

Hello

Have a new Dell XPS8700, 4th gen i7. The motherboard is Intel 8 series C220 - Z87

I have a 1 TB Seagate drive which has Windows 8 on it and WD two hard drives of 2 TB. I formatted the two WDs and selected the RAID in the BIOS. I chose the HDs of WD to create a RAID 1 array with CTRL + I. Windows 8 does not recognize, I went to disk management, and create a simple volume. The volume has been formatted (not quick format) and now it shows as healthy Partition. I guess that it is ready to use, because Windows Explorer now shows as a HD 2 TB in size.

My question is, keeps Intel Rapid Storage, arise the "you may have a problem with your hardware" I go take a look, and the only readers who are are the original system 1 TB drive and the DVD drive. No sign of the RAID 1 volume I hit refresh, but it does not appear. I'm going to report and HDs system all appear. What do you think is happening? How can I have Rapid Storage show the RAID volumes? Thank you in advance.

Here's what the system report shows:

I could make this work. The only way I could do work needed to install an another HD 1 TB I had in hand, select RAID in the BIOS, do a quick CTRL + I and create a volume with two 1 TB disks. This erased Windows and data on both drives (contrary to what said the Dell technician). Had to reinstall Windows on this volume. Once done, TSRI saw volume.

Then I reentered the TSRI (without needing to restart or to deal with the BIOS and CTRL + I) and created another volume w / two 2 TB disks - this time, he actually asked if I wanted to keep the data on one of the disks. This would have useful had I not as well data reformatted all 2 TB disks in trying to configure raid earlier. I have backups on the third HD but it would have saved a lot of time if I had not gone through the previous steps and did not remove everything on these two discs.

I know that's not logical, but the Dell representative was probably right, for some reason, the system does not allow only a single Windows system drive and a RAID 1 with two drives. What I did above was a work around, but it should work fine. I now mirror both the system's hard drive and hard drive data.

  • With the help of the ReadyCache with Intel Rapid Storage Technology?

    I just upgraded to Win8 and the ReadyCached doesn't seem to work.  My motherboard supports the Intels Rapid Storage Technology (RST), so I think to convert thie ReadyCache in an ordinary SSD.  How can I do this?  I just reformat the ReadyCache enable RAID in the BIOS and then hope for the best?

    You can use the drive as a normal SSD all that you need to do is to reformat. no need for RAID really it can work in any RAID or AHCI IDE mode. Technology Intel Rapid storage technology is the SATA driver. Intel RST 11.6 is currently not took with the Expresscache software, but which is supposed to be fixed in the next software update.

  • Tecra Z50 - A - Intel Rapid Storage Technology does not

    Dear Sir

    We bought a lot of laptops Toshiba Tecra Z50 - A with a hybrid HDD (with SSD cache).

    The exact model:
    TECRA Z50 - A
    PT544E-00D01TBT

    We staged and repartition laptops via SCCM.
    However, when you install all the drivers and the Intel Rapid Storage Technology software, I see that only rge WHAT HDD is used and no partition SSD with the Intel RST.

    How we enable this?
    The problem is that the performance is incredibly bad.
    Laptops are very slow, even if the specifications are good:
    CPU i5-4200U
    8 GB RAM
    Windows 7 x 64

    No idea how to turn this Intel RST?
    In the BIOS I find no option for RAID, as must be enabled for the RST to work.

    Thank you

    To be honest I n don't know what you mean exactly the RAID mode. There is no RAID mode.
    The laptop was equipped with a 500 GB SATA HDD HYBRID.

    The part of the HARD drive is used for writing, the SSD part for the reading of the data.
    The performance of SSHD can be placed between a HDD and SSD, but it s significantly slower than an SSD.

    If you have already installed the - Intel Rapid Storage Manager driver, then the service should work

    In the case where it does not run in the background, try to install the latest Intel RST page of Intel driver.

  • Intel Rapid Storage Technology and envy 700-330qe

    I'm a new 700-330qe CTO. Include updates of driver on the hp support is for technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. I first thought it was a driver of hardware like my former lodge (he had a card Intel Matrix Storage Manager who managed the RAID 0, 1 or 0 + 1).  Now I see that it is a software emulation of RAID. Nowhere in the documentation supplied with the machine is there any mention of the capacity of this machine to run any form of RAID. I have two HARD drives, and they are the same size, so, theoretically, that I could run RAID 0 or 1, if I so wish, but is nowhere mention of a way to do it. I see the BIOS must be configured to run RAID.

    I'm NO expert. I was wondering where I can find more on how to set up a RAID machine. So far, I still didn't look in the BIOS (not even sure how to do this, while some of you think I'm stupid). I guess I get a little twisted shape when a product has features that should be out in the open but seem to be hidden. Any help would be appreciated to reallyhl.

    Hello

    You can use the TSRI for caching, but you must first disable ExpressCache to run.  If you buy a longer MSATA card of 64 GB (128 GB) then the remaining space can serve as a data storage area.

  • Technology Intel Rapid Storage from BIOS

    I have an Aspire S5 with a 128 GB SSD. The SSD is seen in the laptop as two 64 GB drives and is configured as RAID0 as default. At one point the RAID has not and I tried factory reset, but the laptop would not get into the recovery mode (by pressing ALT + F10 and all variants of ALT/CTRL/F keys) then I reinstalled manually with a USB key.

    In the BIOS, both drives are considered to be of 64 GB, but Windows only a drive on which I have installed is considered 64 GB, it is still considered the RAID drive (128 GB). It is not usable because I need to format it first, but I dare not do this. I see that the recoverypartition is still on it, but since in RAID0 RAID0, I'm assuming that all data on this partition Ghost is not usable in some way.

    When starting the laptop I get the fast Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology (press CTRL + I), and it is said that the RAID has failed, listing the two disks (partitions), one of them as a member and the other (the one I reinstalled Windows on) not as a member. So I deleted this configuration and recreate and reinstall Windows again. But when I deleted the configuration I can access any more to technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology, the guest never happen! It just directly boots into Windows. By pressing CTRL + I on startup does not, probably because the FIRST is not loading...

    I'm going to assume that the recoverypartition disappeared forever, since I have already reinstalled on one of the partitions, but I'd like to at least get a RAID running again.

    TL; DR - technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology itself uninstalled from the Board of Directors, how can I enable it again?

    If you are not using windows 7, I strongly suggest you to re - install under UEFI.

    I suggest you update the BIOS if no update for your S5 is available, perhaps this may solve your problem of TSRI:

    Hello:

    What is the technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology software.

    http://www.Intel.com/support/chipsets/IMSM/sb/CS-020784.htm

    It is not necessary to install the update if you do not want.

    I doubt you will notice a difference in performance if you have it installed.

    It is unlikely that all the problems would result in the update (however could apply Murphy's law), but like you said... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

  • Intel Matrix Storage Manager Intel Rapid Storage Technology Update

    I have a Dell XPS430 with a Raid 1 configuration managed by Intel Matrix Storage Manager.  Recently, I replaced one of the 1 TB drives that had failed and rebuilt the Raid on the new drive.  At this time that Windows Search has stopped working and I looked online for some reason.  I think maybe it's to do with the fact that the drive hard original has a physical 512 byte sector size and size of logical sector, while the new has a physical sector of 3072 bytes size and size of logical sector of 512 bytes.  The suggestion was that download the latest drivers would cure it, but on checking the Intel Web site, he recommends the upgrade to Intel Matrix Storage Manager to Intel Rapid Storage Manager.  I downloaded this package, but their advice is to check with the manufacturer of my hardware before loading.

    Question: Anyone know if the Rapid Storage software just replaces Matrix Storage Manager and took over responsibility for managing the RAID drives or it could break the raid completely?  Am I at risk of data loss?  Are there problems or snags, that I need to know?

    Any advice would be welcome, thanks

    If you back up all your data and make sure that you have your installation media on site then try different versions of the driver are low-risk.  9.6 10.1 and then by the time you get to 11.x I'm confident enough that its does not work because of the age of your system 2008.  They ride in versions the ICH 5 6 7 8 9 file as being supported.  SATA operation should be AHCI using IMSM or RST this is why there are drivers F6.

I tried everything to keep it. I have googeld for each solution, but could not repair it. Unfortunately, I have expense installing the operating system. And other MISFORTUNE, I only tried to format and delete the C: drive (C: drive was approximately 250 GB and removed to create other partitions of it) but my ENTIRE score got DELETED and MERGED into a single Partition. Fortunately, I managed to recover my data very Important. (End of part 1)

    Now, later, I installed Win 7 Professional.
    Previously, he had installed TSRI and seems to work correctly. Now, I try to install TSRI in my ultrabook but could not do so. Without knowing it, I installed the operating system with the SATA Mode: AHCI instead of Intel Smart... (RAID). Now when I try to change SATA RAID BSOD mode flashes then restarts. I also tried the following technique:

    I had some problem a long time ago, I forget exactly the error and the situation, but I think it was a failing hard drive. Make sure that your backup is current before you do anything else to fix. If there is a problem with the structure of raid, you might be able to rebuild the raid and it works again ok. you could also try to click on the reset to normal disk, or try the check and repair function... If this is the beginning of the problems with this drive, it can continue to cause problems or fail completely one day.

    Here are some manuals from intel and you can look through their forums for similar problems.

  • Area 51 R2 - controller Dual HDD - Intel Rapid Storage questions

    I have here a system of area 51 R2 (new). After power on, I went to check the options available in the bios. I was surprised to see that there is no way to change the way Intel SATA AHCI/RAID controller that I found bizarre. After installing the OS on the SSD while keeping the HARD disk as a data disk, I noticed that the system comes with 2 different controllers.

    The first, running in AHCI mode, is an Intel C600 + / C220 + party controller, while the secondary is a onboard Intel RAID controller mode normal (can not get the exact chip). It seems that the STRANGE and the two SSD 2.5 "put in place (SATA4 and SATA5) are plugged into the controller AHCI while the other 3 3.5" HDDs (SATA1, SATA2, SATA3) slots connectors are all on the SATA RAID controller.

    While this will create a RAID with any installed HARD or SSD installed in slots 3.5 "drive, you cannot create a RAID of 2 2.5" SSD or HARD drive using their location designed in the case. And if you want to create an SSD RAID, you need to get your readers to a location 3.5 "using 2.5" to 3.5 "adapter.

    FIRST QUESTION:
    -Why are there 2 different controllers instead of using only one? Why not as another system, use a simple controller 6 SATA3 ports. If it is of split the possible performance for the SSD's in RAID AHCI mode on hard drives, which almost locks to make an SSD RAID by using the default locations. I know you can just reroute/reconnect the SATA connectors to make it fit, but it's just extra Needless to work on the system.

    SECOND QUESTION:
    -Why we cannot change or the other controllers in the bios mode? What happens if I want to have 2 x SSD in RAID mode for my games while having 2 x HDD also in RAID for my OS? I can't because everything is divided into 3 / 3 for ports and no way to make 2 different RAID systems unless I have buy a 3rd party RAID PCI-e card and use instead.

    Now, here's something else, I discovered. Both controllers have need for different type of Intel Rapid Storage has to be installed, but you can not get either to work along with the other application. The C600 + / C220 + controller requires Intel Rapid Storage Company install the driver 'correct' and the application will run only if you disable the RAID controller. You will see that the STRANGE and the two SSD connected using the application. If you re-enable the RAID controller, the application will give and error and will refuse to start.

    The RAID controller on the other side requires normal Intel Rapid Storage install the driver and application. The application will run only if the driver generic windows is installed for the AHCI controller or is installed when you install the Intel Chipset inf utility (showing C610 / X 99 AHCI controller). The application will launch and show all 3 of the hard disks connected to the RAID controller. It will crash if you try to run it when the driver IWH suitable for the installed AHCI controller.

    What is the idea behind this? This whole business of 2 controller, you cannot change the AHCI/RAID mode on either and only 3 ports for each controller. In addition both controlled by different versions of Intel Rapid Storage and you can not have both installed at the same time so you have to use generic on one or the other drivers if you want to use them. Looks like this last generation of Alienware were not really thought to become with the creation of the weird storage options (which includes the option WITHOUT RAID for R2 of Alienware systems 15/17) which locks the user away from opportunities that other less expensive systems (XPS/optiplex) have at the base!

    It's really disappointing. I have a R4 M17x at home (which was 3D until the video card update) and I'm still in love with this laptop, but I continue to be discouraged in buying any of the new States with all these weird things being disabled or locked down the value of the systems.

    You will probably get a better response if you re - post it in the forum of the Club of Alienware .

    Keep it short and simple.
