I have some SATA drives I want to hook up to the Gigabyte SATA ports on my EX58-UD5 mobo but I do not want any RAID.
What I want to do is simply disable RAID and use the drives as independent drives that I could move to another system w/o incident. However, when I go into the SmartBackup option in BIOS it only gives me options for which RAID type I want -- and I don't want any.
So, I thought I'd try JBOD - Just Buch Of Disks - but it appears Gigabyte's implementation of this is to make all the drives (on a controller at least) appear as one big disk. I don't want that.
So, I tried "Normal" which sounds like "off" but then I noticed that only one of my two drives shows up in the list of recognized drives in the standard BIOS settings screen that lists all the drives. This leads me to believe the RAID controller is doing 'something'...
Any help/insights would be appreciated.
