    hello everyone (i apologize for my english because i'm french)

    I bought a g50v (with only one disk drive 320gb) a few weeks ago and i'd like to set up a raid0 of two corsair ssd (i receive them tomorrow).
    I looked in the bios and found the option for raid, but there weren't any choice for raid1 or raid0, simply RAID ENHANCED or COMPATIBLE.
    So how do i do to set up a raid0 ?
    Thx.

    If you have the Quiet Boot option on (if you see the Fire logo with Republic of Gamers) you need to first hit ESC to see the POST. You need to hit Ctrl+I to get to the RAID configuration after POST.

    I have tried but when i hit ctrl+i, a panel appeared and asked me to choose my boot device, when i hit enter on my hdd, windows simply boots, i didn't see no raid configuration ( maybe because for now i've only one hdd? )

    Yeah, you need 2 disks first. Then the option will show up in the BIOS for RAID mode (where you choose Compatible/Enhanced). After you enable RAID in the BIOS you will see the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Option ROM screen where you hit Ctrl+I to configure it.
