I hope so too, AngelAbaddon.  Please do open a ticket with AMD support to make sure there is no cure for this until the X399 type RAID is available.  Thanks and enjoy, John.]]> Fri, 23 Feb 2018 00:09:20 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7744&PID=45666&title=raid-10-and-windows-10-nvme-troubles#45666 <![CDATA[RAID 10 and windows 10 (NVMe troubles) : yes i cannot install RX2 on my...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7744&PID=45650&title=raid-10-and-windows-10-nvme-troubles#45650 Author: AngelAbaddon

yes i cannot install RX2 on my NVMe. i thank you again, John,for your help and do hope ASRock / AMD make the issues running the OS on NVME more clear to potential buyers... ]]> Thu, 22 Feb 2018 20:47:21 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7744&PID=45650&title=raid-10-and-windows-10-nvme-troubles#45650 <![CDATA[RAID 10 and windows 10 (NVMe troubles) : You are very welcome, AngelAbaddon....]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7744&PID=45604&title=raid-10-and-windows-10-nvme-troubles#45604 Author: MisterJ

You are very welcome, AngelAbaddon.  I am glad to help, but sorry we have not solved your problems.  Have you installed RAIDXpert2 (RX2)on W10?  If not please do and please use the one from your ASRock AB350 Pro 4 DL page.  I suspect we are at the end of the road.  Assuming you cannot install RX2 or see your RAID when you do, then I think you will have few choices.  You can either wait until ASRock releases a BIOS/UEFI supporting the new RAID (same as X399) or you will need to move your OS to a SATA drive.  You could move it to the RAID10.  Before you go this far, I will recommend you open an AMD support ticket and ask about your setup.  Right now I am thinking that AMD cannot support a SATA RAID when you are booting from an NVMe device.  I also believe AMD will not fix this on this version of RAID.  I suspect they are counting on board vendors (eg. ASRock) to release the needed UEFI to support the final RAID.  When that happens you will have to backup all your RAID10 data and then restore it to a newly created RAID10 created after updating to the new UEFI.  RAID on Ryzen/Threadripper has been and continues to be a really bad problem - poor design/implementation and atrocious documentation.  AMD should be ashamed!  Please ask any questions you may have.  Good luck and enjoy, John.

thank you for telling me to install the inf files. previously i had tried to use the installers... anyways, now that they are installed i have the RAIDxpert utility in the UEFI. i used that to make an array. however my OS still doesn't seem to recognize it... am i missing something? ]]> Wed, 21 Feb 2018 04:02:08 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7744&PID=45557&title=raid-10-and-windows-10-nvme-troubles#45557 <![CDATA[RAID 10 and windows 10 (NVMe troubles) : AngelAbaddon, please DL SATA Floppy...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7744&PID=45539&title=raid-10-and-windows-10-nvme-troubles#45539 Author: MisterJ

AngelAbaddon, please DL SATA Floppy Image ver:8.1.0.75 from the ASRock site ( https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/AB350%20Pro4/index.asp#Download ), extract it and for each .inf file, right click and select install.  Then reboot into BIOS/UEFI, set SATA Mode to RAID then F10 and see if you can see your RAID10.  Please let us hear.  Enjoy, John.

EDIT:  Thanks for the link - was useful.  I should have said earlier that AMD has released the code necessary to build and use X399 style RAIDs including NVMe and SATA drives.  ASRock has not release a BIOS/UEFI with the AMD support.

AngelAbaddon, what does 'switched back to SATA mode' mean?  SATA mode should be set to RAID and NVMe RAID mode should be set to Disabled.  Please post a complete set of your specifications as I have in my signature.  Please include the OS, and BIOS/UEFI versions.  Thanks and enjoy, John.]]> Tue, 20 Feb 2018 04:14:42 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7744&PID=45481&title=raid-10-and-windows-10-nvme-troubles#45481 <![CDATA[RAID 10 and windows 10 (NVMe troubles) : so i have a new build withAMD...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7744&PID=45463&title=raid-10-and-windows-10-nvme-troubles#45463 Author: AngelAbaddon

so i have a new build with

AMD Ryzen 7 1800x 

MSI GTX 1050 Ti 

ASRock AB350 Pro 4 MB

120 GB M.2 NVMe with the OS

4 2TB HDDs that i want to set up in RAID 10

 

   so...

I successfully RAID 10'd them in the bios ( and switched back to SATA mode before you ask) they don't show up in windows besides in the disk manager where they show as normal partitions and not as striped or mirrored drives. 
these do NOT show up in windows file explorer.

I tried downloading the AMD RAID Driver and RAIDXpert utility ver:17.40_RAIDXpert from the ASRock website and AMD but both gives me this error: OS is booted on NVMe volume and upgrading the driver will make the drive unbootable; so aborting the installation.  
I've tried everything i can think of guys!Cry please help?
