Now head to the Advanced page and look for the IRST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) option.įrom there you can create or delete RAID volumes easily.
#AMD RAID 0 INSTALLATION READONLY OR READWRITE DRIVER#
It is very important to select X4 Mode for best bandwidth support (varies by model).Īnd disable CSM if you plan on installing the OS into the RAID device (highly recommended for performance!)Īlternatively, you could just select UEFI Driver First from boot options. Next, Enable all RAID support ( M.2, SATA Express and PCIe16_3). For advanced users, there are more options available, such as the size of partitions.įirst, from the UEFI BIOS, you need to select RAID Mode. For those of your keen to learn, you can try to do it manually. The other way to do your RAID configuration is not as simple but not very complicated either. And disable CSM if you plan on installing the OS into this RAID array (highly recommended for performance!). There are two ways to do the RAID configuration the easy way is to use EZ Tuning Wizard.įirst enter the UEFI BIOS, then press F11 to get in and simply go through the process.Īfter creating the RAID, remember to select X4 Mode for best bandwidth support (varies by model). Two Samsung SM951 PCIe SSDs were used (one in M.2 Socket, other in ASUS Hyper M.2 X4 Mini Card).

M.2 PCIe SSDs are capable of being twice as fast as SATA SSDs, and like graphics cards in SLI or CrossFire you can drop in another for even more performance! If you are interested in building them in RAID 0 (Stripe) configuration on your ROG or ASUS Z170 motherboard, here is a step-by-step guide to get you set up in no time! For this guide, the ASUS Z170-DELUXE motherboard is being used to demonstrate, the same process can be used for other applicable ASUS and ROG motherboards such as the ROG Maximus VIII Extreme.
