The #2 system in my profile. It will boot into BIOS. It sees the RAIDed drives but are disabled in BIOS. The NVMe's are not seen. MOBO RAID Controller bad?
 
Which rig?
 
Hi,
Error is usually memory related.
 
Hi,
Yeah
I wondering why someone would raid 2-1tb m.2's frankly.
 
And Windows 11 is not a polished OS

In benches maybe, in real world there is no discernable difference between say a 1/2nd Gen PCIE M2 drive at 1500MB/s and a PCIE4 one at 5000MB/s and with software RAID you are introducing another potential POF, yes, you might get 10kMB/s benches, does it make your system faster? no, not in the slightest :rolleyes: Also irc AMD RAID drivers can be troublesome (compared to Intel), if you want to insist with your RAID0 setup then splash out and get a proper hardware RAID controller (not cheap), it was cool to do with a pair of Raptors back in the day or dual 7.2k 1TB HDD's for double the read/writes but there is much more headache doing it these days with fast NVME drives where is is little to 0 realworld benefit IMO

Such a thing simply does not exist for nvme...

Really?

Can't vouch personally for them as haven't used RAID in years but I know on a consumer level specifically RAID0, it's more pain than it's worth and has been for about 15 years, have AMD RAID drivers improved that much?

Those are simply software RAID codecs on a pcie stick. So yeah.

Yes, even the expensive HighPoint ones. They just feature a pcie 3.0/4.0 switch to avoid bifurcation.

I've owned one before, so I sort of know how they work.

nvme "hardware raid" simply isn't a thing.
 
Finally got an RMA from ASUS. The M2_2 socket would not recognize an NVMe drive. I have successfully used RAID0 in at least 3 computers using the same drives(FireCuda 520 and 530s) on ASUS X570 motherboards. The socket failure would stop the drive from working regardless of its configuration. The original post wasn't meant to ask opinions on using RAID but a question of why it might have failed. I'm no expert in computers but I finally figured it out. Thanks for the help...
 
Hi,
Yeah asus prime ?
I've went through I think three prime deluxe's on x299 before I gave up and return for local micro center instore credit thankfully I got instore policy
I didn't have to deal with asus rma :D
Ended up with a rma replacement x299 apex off ebay instead no issues anymore and even cheaper.

I have a RAID-0 of two Corsair Force GTs in my tower and it has been solid for a decade and still runs like a champ to this day. To be honest, I've lost far more HDDs than I have SSDs. I've had a lot of close calls with my RAID-5 of HDDs during the same time period, so take that for what you will. I think the posts about not running RAID-0 are valid though. You're not really gaining a whole lot other than having a single logical drive to use. Sequential speeds are insane, but 4k access speeds tend to always be worse. That's not a realistic use case outside of the server space where you might need to write huge amounts of consecutive pieces of data at once directly to the device. Seems like an edge case.

I have had a good history with ASUS boards and have 6 running units in my house and a 10 year old, wife's old ASUS computer for sale. Still good but won't run Win11.

When I put it back together I used RAID1. My Gamer runs MSFS2020 on RAID0 Seagate FireCudas 520s.
