Ok so I have a few questions about setting up raid on my motherboard.
I don't have the actual drives yet, but i'm just asking now ahead of time.

First of all my Mobo is an ASRock A780GMH/128M. It's Supposed to have the 780G/710 Chipset. But for some reason my shows as a 780G/750. (See Attached) I'm not sure what to make of this..


Secondly, If I enable Raid in the Bios, Does that mean all my HD's I plug in will be in the raid setup I chose?
I plan on using to WD Black 640Gb in Raid 0.
I was thinking of setting up the Raid then OS and after everything is how I want it I'll go back and add my other hard drives.

This is my first time attempting to setup Raid.
I haven't been able to find any good guides on how to do this with AMD Chipset.

Any Advice/tips or comments would be greatly appreciated.

When you create the array, you choose what hard disks to include and what type of raid (should be similar to the intel ICH10), so unless you choose the hard disk to be in the array it won't be :P

As for the SB I am not so sure, I only have intel currently.

The SB710 that your board utilizes is basically a SB750 with the RAID 5 support removed. In as far as setting up RAID, instructions can be found in your MB manual...

... and on the MB CD under ..\RAID Installation Guide.
