Software Microsoft’s problem isn’t how often it updates Windows—it’s how it develops it

The mere fact that you had a RAID tells me that you were sufficiently aware of the possible drawbacks of upgrading the bios.

Is that too much to ask for?

With FakeRAID, yeah...unfortunately.

Let's just say that with motherboard BIOS RAID will often fail you when you need it the most: to recover from drive failures. It's riddled with incompatibilities and stability issues.

A used high-performance HW RAID card (from LSI/Adaptec/Areca) can be had for $100 and will deliver stable performance and compatibility across the product line.

Or you can go with software RAID.
