   Hello everyone.

Im having a hard time setting up a RAID array on the B360M Pro4 board.

My biggest headache is, i do not get the Control-I message to configure the raid array. 

Im using the latest available BIOS. 

I have tried all configurations i can think of regarding CSM and RST to no avail. 

Please someone, i would appreciate the help.

	There is absolutely no mention of RAID in your user manual so I am going to guess it isn't supported. Odd considering B250, B150 and B85 boards all supported it..... Intel typically locks down it's chipsets by tier with the bottom tier supporting only basic functionality, suitable for home/basic office use then on up the chain to the Z chipset with all the bells and whistles. In the past the B series boards supported raid but it appears intel have removed this support with the 300 series. A quick google search confirms that intel opted to remove RAID support from the B360 chipset. This means that board partners (like ASRock) are not able to support it unless they use a 3rd party controller to do so which would greatly increase the cost of the board. It would seem that if you need RAID support you will need at least an H370 board. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

	Thanks for your quick reply. I've been looking through various articles regarding RST RAID 0 ruppprt and ot lools like you are right. Have to go buy a NVMe i suppose. Thanks again.
