Installing Niresh onto Fake SSD RAID0 Array

[bartekxx12]

Hi,

I am currently running Windows 8.1 on a RAID0 array consiting of 2 Samsung 840 Pro SSD's. The SATA controller is set to RAID in the BIOS and that's what I used to create the array.

I was hoping I would be able to dual boot Windows and OS X from the array but unfortunately when trying to start the installer with RAID enabled it ends with a kernel panic -

 

 

When changing the SATA mode in the BIOS to AHCI the installer starts up quickly without any problems so RAID mode must be what's causing the issue above. 

Is there anything I can do to make it work on my current RAID 0 Array?

Specs - AMD FX8150 / 2 x  XFX HD7950 Black Edition (Crossfire) / 12GB Corsair Vengeance 1866Mhz / 2 x Samsung 840 Pro 128GB (RAID0) / Seagate Barracuda 2TB + 1TB / Asus Xonar D2X / Corsair RM750W / Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z / H100i / Fractal Design Define R4

Thanks

Im in same situation, but i have 2 normal HDD.

 

I found only this: HERE

But it's not comfortable and complete this tutorial consume a lot of time.

Actually im looking for some RAID controller into the PCI-E which make from 2 disk only one and everything will work good, like as onboard controller.

If you found something tell me ;-)

Rocket640L's work great for that (multi os AHCI support) but is still 'generic' binary blob RAID type, so only a few RAID options to choose from etc

Okay, so if I bought it, I received a bootable RAID0 compatible with Mac OSX without any additional modifications?

you can just create a RAID-0 array from within the card's BIOS, with the AHCI passthrough the OS will just see it as one slice, only thing i can recommend is to make sure u have got enough lanes free for your PCI express bus. Another option is to boot with say external usb with your cloned drive, create AppleSoftRAID array from diskutil, and depending on boot loader, do some other minor config changes, and boot from that

I was looking for exactly this solution, but I was not sure if it will work exactly.

Thank you very much!
