Installing the AccelsiorM with a 256GB mSATA card in my Mac Pro has screwed up native boot into the separate Mac Bootcamp partition (Bay2 Drive). The screen gets as far as “Using PCIE Gen 2” but no further.

The card is fine running MACOS (boot time under 12 seconds) but won’t boot via the Option key into Win7 on start up. Anyone got any suggestions?

Can you imagine a 4x256GB RAID-0 array capable of 2GB/s reads/writes, and the entire thing is smaller than a sound card??? OH WHAT I WOULD GIVE!

The Accelsior is raidable on a mac pro at least..
