Used the drivers from the website and again, no luck.

SSD's and 4x Crucial M4 128Gb with firmware 9 on them. The setup worked fine on my previous AMD setup so not sure what if anything I'm doing wrong...
You dont have to load the Raid drivers from a thumb drive. You can load it from the DVD that comes with the Board. Thats how I did it. It does say something about the Intel ports not recognizing the Optical drive but I eliminated that issue by installing the Optical drive on the Asmedia ports. It saw my optical drive and I was able to load the Raid drivers via the Install DVD, You just have to remember to put the Windows Disc back in after loading the drivers.

The reason it says it is not suitable is because at that time you need to put the Windows Disc back in and hit refresh. Then it will be Suitable!
