X370 Gaming/itx & NVMe Raid 0

ChinStrap, I have been following many of the RAID problems (X399) and continue working with AMD on issues.  I will be glad to try to assist you if you tell me what you are attempting.  Please see here ( https://community.amd.com/community/gaming/blog/2017/10/02/now-available-free-nvme-raid-upgrade-for-amd-x399-chipset ) for AMD bragging when they first introduced the NMVe RAID support for X399 - used PCIe card with several NVMe SSDs.  I have no knowledge of X370 support for NVMe RAID, but will take a look (only have X399 to test on).  Enjoy, John.

EDIT: Fixed link to RAID article.

ChinStrap, I DLed the instructions and Floopy drivers from my X370FPG board page (no longer have) and it has the same instructions for the X370 as for my current X399.  The drivers are older.  I am still searching and learning but how about a quick test?  I wrote and used a simple step-by-step to create my RAID0 - my current boot device.  Please see my signature for my specifications.  If you can give two NVMe drives (will be erased/formatted) to the test, then please try creating an array using these instructions:

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.

Enjoy, John.

EDIT:  Is the "The Ultra Quad M.2" for sale anywhere?  Any other cards like this for sale?

AMD says NVMe support should be available soon for X370, waiting on BIOS from board vendors.  It should look very much like X399.  Please open a ASRock ticket and see if you can get them going.  Thanks and enjoy, John.

You are welcome, ChinStrap.  Please let us know what you learn.  Enjoy, John.
