Z620 in UEFI boot mode does not recognize separate internal HD in drive bays 0,1 and 2

No problem, glad to hear you now have a stable system.

Ironically, while searching for RST issues on Google I found a post on another forum and their solution was also to uninstall the Intel RST. It seems to have worked for them but apparently RST does improve drive performance regardless of whether you have a single HDD or multiple RAID setup.

I am not sure how much performance I am losing now without the Intel RST but it sure made my system very unstable I can tell you. I almost regreted my purchase of this z620 which of course is not rational since it is even though not new it is a very nice piece of machinerie which will help me be more productive.

If curiousity strikes you at a later date, CrystalDiskMark is a neat and very simple little benchmark tool for hard drives.

I am familiar with both CrystalDiskMark and HD Tune.

I have the trial version of HD Tune now checking all my drives including the two 1 TB drives which I had planned to do in raid 1 for backing up my temporary files that are stored on my second OCZ SSD.
