" rel="nofollow - Hi everyone I have a question about the Fatal1ty X299 Professional Gaming i9 XE. As I see one of the three M2 PCIe x4 Sockets is directly connected to the CPU and the other two are running through the chipset. Is it possible to create a RAID 0 with all of the M2 drives to install Windows on that RAID? Thanks and have a great day! gianni |

I have the none XE version but I can only create a RAID 0 on 2 of the M2 slots. |

I have a 960 1 TB Pro Nvme on slot 1. 2 & 3 has 2x970 Evo 500gb. I use the built in intel raid configuration for RAID 0 and installed the RST drivers for Windows 10. It runs retarded and unstable. My machine won't turn off or restart properly, just sits there with all the fans ramped up.

" rel="nofollow - Dear Gianni-gt,
Thank you for contacting us.
Regarding your question, X299 Professional Gaming i9 XE has three M.2 slots. Because the M2_1 is connected to CPU and M2_2 and M2_3 are connected to PCH, RAID mode only supports at M2_2 and M2_3 slots.
Thank you! Yours truly, ASRock TSD |
