RAID Configuration

[BDKaleb]

Hello, thanks for taking time to read this! It means a lot.

 

Context: I am building a new system and I’m having issues with the bios configuration for RAID. I have setup a RAID 0 config prior on my previous system and would like to on this one.

 

System: i9 12900K, ASUS B760M-PLUS WIFI D4, 2x 2Tb Crucial P5 Plus NVME 2280(slotted on the board).

 

Other components: 2 x 32gb RAM, CPU cooler H115i, 2080ti.

 

 

so the system successfully boots and works while Intel rapid storage is turned off. Once I turn this setting on and try to configure any raid type it prompts with something along the lines of “raid volume not supported”. I have updated my Bios drivers and tried mobo drivers for SATA and it doesn’t allow me to install it. I’m sorry this is limited information, I am trying to see first and foremost if I am missing something obvious. 
 

thanks for help!

As linus recently went through the headaches of discovering:

Don't run RAID.  it's a headache on the best of days, and not worth any insignificant speed benefits.  NVME is already more than fast enough to do anything you need without RAID.  

 

 

Also:  RAID is a bad idea, as hardware RAID controllers (BIOS RAID on most board even moreso) are just terrible:

that's where you create the raid volume. and select the disk and type of raid. 

just remember to download ahci/raid drivers extract them and have them on a folder on your install disk as you will probably have to load driver to see the raid volume during install 

 

if it's a headache or not... i've been running my system on raid 0 since 2018. swapped from asus rog strix z270 mainboard where it was created to asus rog strix z390 mainboard that it's running on now.  never had an issue with the disks. 

 

i can see both disks in hwmonitor64.. and the volume. BUT i can't upgrade firmware on them as samsung magicician only sees the raid volume.
