AMD-RAIDXpert2 Issue in Windows

Zenith_X1 · February 18, 2021

Attached image is RAIDXpert2, Device Mgr, and File Explorer on a fresh Windows install.

I have three separate arrays in my system, the first of which (NVMe 500 GB) has the Windows Installation. Strangely, Windows does not recognize the two RAIDed unallocated partitions. All 6 of my drives have their RAID enabled in the BIOS, and were present after installing the relevant RAID drivers as described in the online ASUS manual during the Windows setup process.

Can anyone with experience setting up multiple arrays in RAIDXpert2 guide me through making Windows recognize my arrays? It's my first time using AMD RAID software (new 5900x) instead of Intel Smart Storage. Thank you.

Can you go to Disk Manager and initialize the drive(/RAID voume)?

I have the same issue. 2 of my NVMe drives are set up as RAID1. When I go to Disk Management I see the “1” drive but it is unallocated. The only option I see to allocate it for use is to make a New Simple Volume.
