So i'm building a server for a local company and i'm running into a issue with my storage configuration. I purchased a Z370 Professional Gaming i7 because it had a ton of IO ports and 10Gb Ethernet built in. I didn't read the manual first and found out if you enable a NVME drive it disables 2 Sata ports. So my problem is i have 2 NVME SSD's, 2 Sata HDD's, and 4 SATA SSD's and only 6 available Ports. My current config is the NVME drives in raid 1 as the OS and the HDD's on the 2 open intel Sata ports in raid 1 for archiving. So now i need to connect 4 SSD's in raid 5 but only have 2 sata ports controlled by a ASMedia controller. Also to be able to Raid NVME drives you need to have your systems storage oprom policy set to UEFI only. I have also looked into Hardware raid cards but there ins't much info on UEFI only raid cards. Any ideas on how to add a 4 SSD raid in a UEFI only config?
