Does Raid actually work on the Marvel controller?

There are 2 ways to set up the raid. Of course you must connect your 2 drives to the red 6gbps ports in order to have the options available.

First thing to do is in the bios go to:

Advanced Tab
Onboard Devices Configuration
Onboard SATA6G Controller
Choose AHCI

First method is in the bios.
Go to the Tools tab.
Scroll to "Drive Xpert Configuration"" and press enter
Scroll to "Update To Super Speed" press enter and enable for Raid 0
("Update To EZ Backup" is for Raid 1)

The other method is just like intel
When you are booting up, watch for the Marvel Configuration Utility and press control "M"
From in the utility you can set up your Raid

All this said, I would not use the Marvel to run raid 0 anyway. The Rampage III Extreme uses the 9128 chip for the Marvell Controller and is limited to PCI-E x1 lane speed.
