I have my Rampage IV nearly built, OS is on an SSD plugged into SATA6G_1, 3TB Data Drive plugged into SATA6G_2.

I am trying to add a RAID0 Array to the SATA3G connectors, but the BIOS option seems like it will make changes across every SATA port (there is only one option, either AHCI, RAID, IDE, or Disabled for all ports).

Since I already have my OS and the data drive installed, I'm hesitant to change a global setting in BIOS that may wipe my existing drives. How do I add a RAID0 array (maybe 2) to the 4 3gbs SATA ports and leave everything else alone?
 
When you enter the RAID ROM menu, you will only be adding the drives that you want to the array, the "others" won't be part of the array so will run as single drives.
