Ubuntu 18.04 doesn't recognize RAID 0 SSDs during install
Trying to dual boot a laptop with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04.
Basically when I get to "Installation type", the 2TB RAID 0 doesn't show up to select. This is a hardware RAID setup in the BIOS. In fact nothing does and clicking the + or Change... causes a crash.
When I open the terminal and do df -h it doesn't show up either.
In the Windows install I did make a 50GB partition for Ubuntu which isn't showing up either.
I've read several AU questions regarding this. They basically say if it is a hardware RAID, then it should just work normally. Apparently not in my case.
Software RAID does require some setup apparently.
Other things I have read is to switch the RAID to AHCI. I did this and it caused several other issues that just didn't work for me although the individual drives did show up in Ubuntu. Switched it back to RAID and decided to just fight with Ubuntu to get this working. Seems like there should be a way to get it to work.
Also, it sounds like hibernation/fast startup in Windows can cause this issue as well. I have it turned off.
Any suggestion about how to get the RAID to show up?
EDIT
To expand on why switching to AHCI didn't work for me... the laptop is partly a digital audio workstation (DAW). I have about 1.1TB in libraries and virtual instruments. Not being able to stripe the drives means I have to split them up between drives. Just isn't a good practice.
Furthermore, I was unable to make a striped or spanned volume with unallocated space from C: and the unallocated drive.
Drives do not show up under sudo fdisk -l.
Ubuntu was still unable to see the RAID 0 after a complete wipe of the discs with no OS on it.
sudo dmraid -r or sudo dmraid -ay just says no block devices found.
sudo mdadm --assemble --scan says mdadm: No arrays found in config file or automatically.
sudo mdadm -Q /dev/sd[a-f][1-9] says /dev/sda1: is not an md array. /dev/sda1 is just the bootable USB I'm running Ubuntu from.
Supposedly Ubuntu Server has the necessary drivers, but I've tried the regular Ubuntu Server 18.04 and the alternate one for my chipset. Drives still don't show up. Same with Lubuntu.
