G75vx intel RAID

[parth]

HI, I've heard that the RAID technology gives the fastest transfer rates for hard disks.
Also the chipset in the g75vx is supposed to be compatible with it. When i opened the boot options
SATA config menu it shows that i'm using AHCI instead of RAID.WIll I lose data if i change it now.
Any information will be appreciated.

Yes, when you create a RAID array (BTW you need 2 HDDs to run a RAID if you haven't done your research into RAID yet), all the data on the HDDs included into the RAID array are wiped.

Yup. I have 2 HDDs. Any way to avoid losing the data though?

I have a single hard drive in my laptop. Using the RAID boot option over AHCI resulted in faster Read/Write speeds quite significantly. So I have to agree with you on this.

It wont boot after you change it. At least it wouldn't for me. I had to do a clean install after changing the boot option from AHCI to RAID
