   daddyo, I am almost sure you would need to do a Delete Array on all your drives to create RAIDs.  This would include your system drive.  After creating the VOLUME, you would need to install W10 on it.  AMD says better things are coming but, of course, no time frame given.  I have no experience with Intel but have created several RAIDs on AMD based systems and was really surprised with the mess this TR is.  There may be a time when you can simply create the real RAIDs you want (no VOLUMEs) and go on your way.  Being an optimist, I would hope to get a RAID5 also.  I have never asked AMD about RAID5 but was stunned when I saw it was not offered.  Enjoy, John.

	So, I think Asrock holds not as a priority this MB and I should not expect a new Bios for X399 platform any time soon

	I am also waiting for Asrock to update the bios for x399. Like some of You, I am counting on accelerating the memory after the update of AGESA - Which in my opinion should have been introduced on this platform a long time ago. G.Skill F4-3200C16Q-32GTZB running daily on auto (around 2200 not 3200). It's hard to turn it up on my personal rig, I tried it a bit (certainly not long enough), but without success.

	TBH I do not think any X399 system holds priority for any manufacturer. TR system sale were so minimal compared to others that they will tend to follow the money. That and AGESA seems to be behind for the x399 as well compared to x370 etc..

	Let's hope they will wake up when TR+ will be coming and then we will receive some support...

	I wrote to them in this matter, but I received only a general answer. Unfortunately, I think that the new bios on our platform will not come quickly :/ "yes, I guess so AMD will provide new AGESA code in future. But I do not have any information when and if the memory module improvement inside. I will forward your request to our BIOS department and inform AMD as well. At this moment, only thing I can say is check from time to time the BIOS download page. Best regards, ASRock Support"

	It kind of sux, to say the least. I love the power of the TR platform but hate being the odd man out.

	FYI, ASRock does not produce the AGESA code. That comes from AMD. And ONLY AMD.
