When this PC was built in early 2020, I setup RAID 1, using SATA drives. 1. Nearing capacity on the installed 1TB SATA RAID 1 volume. 2. Due to update to Windows 11. For the above two reasons, leaning toward a fresh installation of Windows 11, on a RAID 1 volume, utilizing the 2 available M.2 slots. On reading ASRock's response to this Thread, https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19478 QUOTE=ASRock_TSD] Hi peacepowers, Thank you for your post. There are two ways to build the RAID volume with nvme SSD. Please refer to the below link to set up your RAID volume. https://download.asrock.com/Manual/RAID/Z490%20Extreme4/English.pdf" rel="nofollow - RAID guide Also, We recommend removing other storage before creating the RAID volume. All the best ASRock TSD[/QUOTE] I believe that its possible to : 1. Power down the PC. 2. Disconnect the existing SATA RAID drives, 3. install 2 NVME drives (of greater capacity, likely 2TB). 4. Launch BIOS, build a RAID 1 volume, using the instructions linked above. 5. Install Windows 11, using the drivers linked to from the above-mentioned instructions. * My question being, *must* the NVME drives be manufactured by Intel? Thank you, Burkert ------------- No gods, no masters. |

It is stipulated in the instructions and makes sense since you need to use IRST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) to set up the raid array. I don't have the components to test it out but I suspect you may be restricted to (identical) intel drives. -------------
