Can't detect SSD when installing Ubuntu 16.04 LTS alongside with Windows
I recently tried to install Ubuntu on my razer blade pro, which has two raid0 configured SSD, I can successfully boot into Ubuntu live session with a USB stick, but when I tried to install it on the laptop, I found the Ubuntu can't detect the SSD in the laptop at all, it's empty in the installation type choosing page where it supposed to list my partitions on the SSD (I shrank 50G space for Ubuntu in Windows non allocated, I directly get to the second "Installation type" window with the list of device on which I could install Ubuntu. And there I only got one device named /dev/sda(with nothing after it)). Later I tried to use GPart tool in Ubuntu to partition, but there's nothing as well, only my USB stick is listed there. I think it's probably a setting problem(Everything is fine in Windows), probably have something to do with raid0, so please help a little if you can, thanks.

Heres what I did to get it to work:
- Open the BIOS
- Disable RAID0 in the
Advancedmenu - Set SATA Mode Selection to AHCI in
Chipset->SATA And RST Configurationmenu - Set Secure Boot to Disabled in
Securitymenu - Set Boot option filter to UEFI and Legacy in
Boot->Launch CSMmenu
- Disable RAID0 in the
From here it should be able to see the SSDs.
