Anyone notice a bug with the current Z170 Extreme 3 or is it just me?
I have the following drive configuration on my ASRock Board.
1 240Gb SSD
2x1Tb SATA Hdd's
I want to RAID 1 the two 1Tb drives which the BIOS seems to let me configure. The problem is after I enable RAID in the BIOS and setup a raid array with the two HDDs, it looks accurate in the BIOS basic screen showing the SSD as not being a part of the RAID integrated disk setup.
However, when I boot it doesn't let me boot into my SSD boot drive and appears to be trying to boot off the RAID array. I cannot select the SSD as the primary boot device.

Can anyone else confirm or deny this issue?
Or does the RAID enable feature only work on bootable configurations?
I'm kind of at a loss. If I need to do a software RAID I will but seems to defeat the purpose fo having a RAID enabled BIOS.
thanks in advance,
