Z370 Gaming K6 M.2 SATA RAID0 Issue

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Does this board support M.2 SATA RAID?  I'm having issues with my 2 Samsung 860 Evo M.2 drives working in RAID 0.

I can create the RAID array with no problems but when I install Windows 10, it stops detecting one of the drives and the array fails.  When I reboot the drive in M.2_1 is not detected by the BIOS and the RAID array is listed as failed in the RST bios menu.  I've tried legacy mode as well with the same result.

Latest BIOS is installed, latest firmware installed on the drives.  Clean Windows 10 install.

Any help would be appreciated.  I'm thinking I got a faulty drive but I'm not sure.

	Are you using the SATA PORTS? they share with the M.2 slots. Check your manual for the shares.

	I'm using an ASMEDIA port for my optical drive. No other SATA ports are being used.

	I've tried to just avoid the driver part, but as soon as I set up the RAID 0 and exit, the volume gets lost when I re-enter the BIOS. I have a Windows USB recovery media that I can use to install Windows on the RAID volume, but when I boot to the USB and try to install Windows, it doesn't detect the since volume at all. I'm not sure what else to try.
