BSOD when I try to setup RAID 1

Alright. I know I am doing something wrong, but I am unsure of it.

I just bought my first SSD. I am using it as my boot drive and I am trying to use 2x 320gb HDD as my storage drives.

I setup the SSC in AHCI (default). When I switch the AHCI to RAID and boot it prompts me to set up my RIAD. I setup the RAID and it start. When the four balls fly in it BSODs every time.

What am I doing wrong?

MoBo - ASUS P8Z68-V LE
M4 128gb SSD sata 6.0gbs
2 x Hitachi Deskstars HDD 320gbs stata 3.0gbs

Thanks
 
I believe changing from AHCI to RAID requires different drivers, or additional drivers... The process should be similiar in the sense you need to upgrade the drivers before you reboot with RAID mode, there are several posts about changing from IDE to AHCI, it should be a similar process.

Alternatively, plug both hitachi drives in and use a simple mirroring program that runs in the background. on-board RAID1 has no performance advantages. Simple is great if you don't need the added complexities of RAID.

Thanks for the tip. You have any particular programs in mind?

syncback SE,
rsync on cygwin
microsoft synctoy
windows backup could also work.

I remembered that I had an extra RAID card lying around. Popped it in and set it up. Now I have a PCI raid controller controlling my raid configuration and my MoBo controlling my SSD.

Thanks for the help!
