Let OS use Intel 6gb/s

Always keep up to date bios...

Your current bios can enable raid.

Your HDD in raid 1 can't even fully utilize Sata 2 bandwidth.......

I think you might have config wrong settings in the bios.

Can take photo of your bios menu?

Press Ctrl + I enter the raid settings, reset all raid array and set the 2 seagate as Raid 1 - 128k
