Hi. I know nothing about the 4 SSds in Raid0 setup, but do have a little experience dual and triple booting W10 with Linux. As you know, W10 will often interfere while attempting to control your pc when installing Linux distros. Because of that, I installed W10 and Linux on separate SSDs, but still had problems with W10 messing with booting properly. I finally physically unplugged the SSD that W10 was on, installed My Linux distros on the other SSD, plugged the W10 SSD back in, and then updated grub. All has worked well since then. So physically disconnecting W10 worked for me, and perhaps, if feasible, it may work for you. Good luck. *** Also, perhaps the following might help: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/SataRaid

I have an MSI GT72 laptop dual boot Win 10 and Zorin-OS which has 4 SSDs in Raid0 using Intel's fakeraid. It was working great with ZorinOS and it was mounted somewhere at /dev/mapper/isw..... The problem is now that I tried to replace Zorin with Deepin, it won't boot even though the installation completes just fine. I installed it in UEFI mode and the extra entry shows up in my BIOS but when I try to boot I get an initramfs shell and it says that it did not detect the the RAID volume and it prints out the UUID of the volume. Doing blkid shows the 4 SSDs with a name similar to "isw_raid_member" or something like that. I tried booting into recovery mode and at some point it says that it failed to assemble all arrays. During installation they were assembled just fine and the disk was detected as Linux Software RAID and mounted to /dev/md126 but after the reboot it fails to detect it. Things I tried:
-Adding dmraid=true in the grub entries
-Formatting using both ext4 and btrfs.
-Installation using the bootloader instead of UEFI option(This just brings be to a GRUB shell after the reboot)
Also keep in mind that I am trying to dual boot with Windows 10.
Any help would be appreciated.
