You are using a fake raid controller. You should avoid this and stick with linux software raid unless you have to dual boot with windows. If you are going to use it, then you need to install grub to the fake raid device ( /dev/mapper/isw_ddcjefaac_Volume0 ) rather than an individual disk ( /dev/sda )
