Default AHCI + raid
Quicky here,

In the process of installing win 7 and had a question

if I use ahci, can I also use a raid array?

I just got a P7P55D-E pro

thanks
(using my iPhone to post this lol)

Set set the SATA to RAID. RAID uses AHCI.

+1 to that. you only have to set raid in bios if your booting, the rest is software raid anyway

yes because raid uses ahci. when in raid if you plug in a single disk it just works as a ahci disk ahci makes hot swapping possible
