" rel="nofollow - My motherboard is the X399 Taichi. I have 4 x 5TB 7200 rpm SATA HDDs in this box. Using the tool in the UEFI I set up a RAID 0 with 3 of the drives and that is working properly. However, I cannot get the machine to recognize the 4th drive. I would like to set that up as a simple volume.

All 4 drives show up in the UEFI.

I have tried initializing the 4th drive and I have tried setting it up as a single volume, but when I do that the computer won't boot (Windows 10 Pro). The 3-drive RAID drive shows up in the disk management tool, but the 4th drive does not show.

I have restarted a bunch of times and tried different options in the UEFI. What am I missing?

TIA

My system crashed while updating to Windows 10 1809. I reinstalled Windows 10 and now my RAID is not recognized. When I go to the BIOS the RAID is there, but Windows disk management doesn't see it. If I boot into ACHI mode the individual drives are recognized but when I switch back to RAID mode neither the drives nor the RAID appear.
