Could you please read the manual and the AMD RAID Installation Guide?

many thanks for the reply. There is no information in the mainboard manual about the Raid nor a reference to a different guide.
I did find an AMD RAID Installation Guide, but that guide isnt correct. At page 11, point F, it is telling: Go to Boot? CSM and set ?œLaunch Storage OpROM policy??to <UEFI only>
But it is not possible to change something with the cms.

Yes, of course, this is not clear explained.
- Setup a RAID array with SATA3-HDDs
- Setup a RAID array with M2 NVME PCIe drives
But no info for M2 SATA drives

Obviously the special AMD-NVME-RAID mode cannot be used with M2-SATA SSDs, because it requires PCIe.

I think, the only way is to handle the M2-SATA SSDs like "normal" SAT-HDDs, meaning setting the SATA conroller to RAID mode and so on.

But anyway, you have a platform for high speed PCIe NVME SSDs, but you are using slow M2-SATA SSDs. What an unwise decision.
I would go for a new PCIe NVME SSD in M2_1 which is much faster as a SATA-Raid. And running the existing(?) M2-SATA SSDs in M2_2 and M2_3.

And personally, i would not use any Mainboard RAID functionality without a very good backup strategy.

What? You posted that you want to put 2 m.2. SATA drives into raid!!!

Samsung 970 EVO PLUS M.2 500GB are NVME PCIe 4x drives for which AMD NVME-Raid is designed!
And the setup for a RAID array with M2 NVME PCIe drives is described.
You have to disable CSM, because you need the UEFI mode for that.

Correct, the Samsung's are m.2
I woild like to put them into raid because 512gb is not enough for my build.

But, the Amd raid installation guid tells me to Go to Boot? CSM and set ?œLaunch Storage OpROM policy??to <UEFI only>.

But ther e is no lau ch storage oprom at cms
