The first entry is of the SSD which is RAID0 and "Offline" (the latter in red).
It's a hardware RAID? You have two SSDs in the computer? Have you gone
into setup to see what the RAID configuration says?
Yes, it is a hardware RAID. The BIOS is very confusing but it does not say anything in
there (anymore). My understanding is (and I am green here) is that the SSD drive is 2 x
60GB and stripped to 120GB. I don't know what this means (but yes, one drive is a
mirror of the other, and I only had access to 60GB when I installed last week).
Thanks again!
