SSD Help (Windows 8)?

I have two SSDs, two Crucial M4s, that I want to strip in Windows 8 (made a RAID 0 volume).

In Windows 7, I never had the problems I'm about to describe.

Whether I create the RAID volume in BIOS or in Disk Management, Windows 8 always reads THREE Crucial M4s.

Any idea as to what is going on?

Update:

I figured it it. Word of caution: don't mess with your SSDs when you've been drinking. I completely forgot that I had a third SSD that I put, I think, Ubuntu on a long time ago but completely forgot about and never used. Opened up my case the next morning and the very dim, slightly broken light bulb went off.

All fixed now, though. Just going to use that third for Windows swap and maybe file history.

    yeah, dragon's right. check the size of those 3 drives. i'll bet you one of them is double the other two, indicating that is your RAID partition.

    MUST be a setting out of place. check that you've dotted your T's and crossed your eyes ;)

    just a shot in the dark here ( because of lack of details ) but i think that you did not enter the right size ( of the ssd s ) and so there might be two small partitions and the raided 0 big one !

    or when you started the second building of the array it did not completely cover the entire size of the ssd s !
