I got it working on the NVME drive by leaving NVME RAID disabled, installing Windows, then installing the RAID drivers within Win10 to enable the SATA RAID away. I'm just gonna leave well enough alone and stick with that.

That last message is some interaction between the edit box and a chrome extension I use to prevent sites from disabling right clicks. Sorry about that. Thanks for the help!< ="chrome-extension://hhojmcideegachlhfgfdhailpfhgknjm/web_accessible_resources/index.js">

Apethae, once you set SATA Mode to RAID, all SATA drives on your system must be RAID and the RAID drivers used to access then.  So in this case steps 9-13 must be followed (especially 13).  So in you case set SATA Mode to RAID and CSM to disable.  Create you single drive as a VOLUME RAID (step 7 then 8, then rest).  If you want to try installing W10 (x64, 1703 or higher) on the NVMe (please tell me what it is), then in place of above. Set SATA Mode to RAID so you can build your RAID1 in RX2 in W10 and CSM to disable.  Make sure your NVMe is GPT Style and NVMe RAID is Disabled.  Boot your install USB stick and install W10 to the NVMe and open RX2.  You should be able to build your RAID1 here.  Please ask any questions.  Enjoy, John.

I have a single SATA SSD on which I want to install Win10.
I then have two identical SATA HDD's I want to add after Win10 is running and set up a RAID1 mirror.< ="chrome-extension://hhojmcideegachlhfgfdhailpfhgknjm/web_accessible_resources/index.js">
I have been setting the SATA SSD as a RAID VOLUME by itself, but cannot get Windows 10 installed on it, even if I try to install in AHCI mode. None of the Taichi drivers or AMD drivers seem to see the SSD.

I have borrowed a M.2 PCIE NVME disk that I'm trying to get Win10 installed on just to see if it can be done, but no luck so far.

Basically the SSD will always be on its own, not in an array, but as the RAID1 mirror is to be connected to the same controller I have to set it up as a RAID VOLUME and get the drivers working, yes?

Apethae, you need to tell me what you want to do - EXACTLY!  My step-by-step included doing W10 install on the RAID.  From step 9 on is only needed if you are going to install W10 on the RAID.  If not, simply boot into W10 and install RAIDXpert2 (RX2, the one from the Taichi DL page, contains drivers) and reboot.  Open RX2 in W10 (admin/admin) and you should see your RAID.  As I remember you want a SATA RAID.  Be sure to follow the SATA s-by-s above and do not enable NVMe RAID setting.  If you have other other SATA devices not in the RAID, they will be need to be set to RAID VOLUME.  Again, when you tell me EXACTLY what you want to do, I should be able to help.  Enjoy, John.

Thanks, Wardog, but it's a SATA SSD and not a PCIe one.

I know, I tried injection out of desperation when nothing else worked. The MS AHCI driver doesn't seem to recognize my drives when I boot in SATA mode; it gives me an error and no drives are listed. Tried creating a SATA RAID array: I get to step 11 substep 3 and can go no further, same as before. Error after loading rccfg (and all previous drivers in step 11) is: "No new device drivers were found. Make sure the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK." This is using the ASRock Taichi raid drivers, but also any others I've found.
EDU is the only version I have a license for and the MS Media Creation Tool keeps erroring out on my laptop after download. 64bit, yes. I will see about getting a 1709 is from elsewhere if I can, but AMD says 1703 should support RAID on the x399.
Still stumped.
At Step 11 substep 1 I have two rcbottom entries, but trying either or both has the same result.

TR1920X * ASRock X399 Taichi (2.0 FW) * 240GB WD Green SSD (SATA) * 1TB WD Blue SATA III Hard Drive * 32GB (8GBx4) ADATA XPG Z1 DDR4/3000MHz * 800W HPL-800BR-F14S PSU * MSI Aero GTX 1080 8GB

Apethae, injecting the drivers for RAID does not work!  I have tested it ever way I can think of and complained to AMD with no help.  RAID on X399 is a mess but I think I have figured it out.  AMD says they will straighten it out.  If you will tell me what you want to do, I will be glad to help.  X399 uses the MS AHCI driver and you should not try to install something different.  I need to know what drive type (NVMe/SATA) you want to use.  You should use only the drivers and RAIDXpert2 on the ASRock Taichi DL page.  I know that using the AMD drivers results in a yellow ! in the Device Driver.  I did not pursue this but am not crazy to try running with it.  I suspect it would be OK, but ASRock offers this driver over AMD's for some reason.  Is your system not detecting your NVMe also?  Do you have to use the (Edu) version of W10 - how about 1709?  I assume it is 64 bit.  Please post, in your signature, your complete specifications as I have.  Include your power supply and SSD version.
For SATA array.

1. Boot into BIOS, hit F9 then F10
2. Boot into BIOS, set SATA mode to RAID
3. Set CSM to disable
4. F10
5. boot into BIOS
6. use RAIDXpert2 (RX2) in UEFI to delete all drives you want included in the RAID and any
    arrays not needed
7. Create array, selecting each of your drives, one by one
8. F10
9. Boot into Boot Menu (F11)
10. Select install USB.  You should see UEFI only version.
11. Install the RAID drivers in this order:
   1-rcbottom - all your drives in the RAID will For SATA array.
   2-rcraid - you will see your one RAID
   3-rccfg - you are good to go!
12. Install W10 on the RAID.
13. Enjoy.

If you are creating an NVMe RAID:

1. Boot into BIOS, hit F9 then F10
2. Boot into BIOS, in PBS set NVMe RAID to Enabled
3. Set CSM to disable
4. F10
5. boot into BIOS
6. use RX2 to delete all drives you want included in the RAID and any
    arrays not needed
7. Create array, selecting each of your drives, one by one
8. F10
9. Boot into Boot Menu (F11)
10. Select install USB.  You should see UEFI only version.
11. Install the RAID drivers in this order:
   1-rcbottom - all your drives in the RAID will disappear
   2-rcraid - you will see your one RAID
   3-rccfg - you are good to go!
12. Install W10 on the RAID.
13. Enjoy.
These are both defined to create boot-able drives.  Enjoy, John.

EDIT: AMD on AHCI driver:
