Hello again everyone!

I just recently purchased x2 250GB mSATA Samsung 850 Evo drives and I am trying to configure them for RAID 0 in my Sager NP9380-S. I set my SATA controller to RAID and disabled my other two drives (1 SSD, 1 HDD - Both containing an OS and data). When I boot into my Windows 10 flash drive to install, the installer sees the drives as two separate drives. After enabling RAID I have no additional popups/options on boot as to which RAID setting to set to. What am I doing wrong?

I am currently running the latest prema bios.

Hit Ctrl+I (or somesuch) to access the raid controller's firmware gui after switching AHCI -> RAID in bios. You need that menu to create a raid volume first before you can create the partition volume and this is handled by the raid controller, not the bios proper. Opting for UEFI boot may have hidden the Ctrl+I message normally present during raid=on post.

Disable uefi boot because like t456 says, booting in uefi hides the option to enter the intel raid controller
