  1. I have Asus motherboard and everything looks the same in bios besides AdvancedPCH Storage Configuration where I can’t find Raid option nor AHCI option. There’s only enable or disable in SATA Controller(s) tab, nothing else shows up. Problem for me is that intel Rapid Storage works for mirroring raid which I want but no NVMe shows up. I’ve tried everything for just installing Windows on my mirrored NVMe drives but it never shows up.

  2. Thank you! Have been struggling with installing win11 on new RAID drives and somehow this worked. Didn't even need the driver-usb. Brilliant! =)

  3. Thank you, very usefull and straight forward video! Helped me out 😉

  4. Perfect, had an issue where the drive was detected and it would never progress past 0%.. after installing the irst drivers it now loads.
    perfect thanks!

  5. I have 2 drives that are configured to raid 0 or into a storage pool using storage spaces from a different previous windows 10 drive, I removed that and built a pc with those two configured drives, I installed windows 10, but can't seem to boot into those two drives, the motherboard sees it as different drives, but the windows 10 installation drive sees it as one, how could I fix this?

  6. could you add a 3gb/s 120gb sata ssd to that raid?

  7. 5 years later and this is still a useful video! 👍

  8. eewwwww, express settings

  9. I have windows 10 installed to my merged IRST SSD but it's messed up (crash on boot but all disk checks and integrity scans in cmd says it's healthy or no issues) so I wanted to install over it. I installed the IRST driver in the installation as shown but it still doesn't show my SSD, I can only see my HDD.

  10. I have a question that I can't find anywhere. I have a ROG Maximous VI formula 4770k 32GB RAM with 2x Seagate Constellation ES3 in Raid 0 Stripe formatted in GPT by widows 10. I set the BIOS and made it bootable via Control I Intel RAID. I tried using Todo Backup to move my single drive to the RAID 0 and after that no boot, nothing with the single drive removed. I tried installing Windows 10 from scratch and nothing. Windows 10 install can't find it even with RST driver put in it. The "Raid Control I" will show up only in Secure Boot enabled but my Windows 10 will not boot because it is in UEFI GPT format. If I boot in secure boot off, Windows 10 USB gives me a Rufus Error that it is not supported in Secure Boot mode but Control I is accessible. Only with Secure Boot enabled that the RAID 0 will show up at all and accessible in BIOS advanced menu otherwise it is not available. How do I make this thing work?

  11. Lmao I've got the same case, with the same cpu and ram. I love that setup but gonna upgrade for R5 5900x and 3090 soon

  12. Followed your directions to the letter. Intel rst drivers installed and It recognized my drive but said Windows can't be installed on drive one partition one. I deleted the partition back to unallocated space. For some reason windows will not install

  13. Perfect video! Thank you so much. This has been a great help for me setting up my 3 x Samsung 970 EVO in RAID 0.

  14. I was completely stuck with Windows telling me "Your computer may not boot from this disk.". Turns out that despite me changing my boot settings to UEFI only, my motherboard still wanted to boot using non UEFI from my optical drive. I went into my boot menu and specified the optical drive as UEFI. That fixed the issue. Anyone with a Gigabyte motherboard, try forcing your PC to use UEFI on your installation drive. I can't believe this had me spending 30 minutes trying to diagnose. Now I have my RAID 0 SSDs running fast as usual. Thanks for the video.

  15. Theres no "create raid" button on mine..

  16. Wich IRST to download? The setupRST.exe or f6flpy-x64.exe?

  17. Update your BIOS first it didn't work for me without that. If you have AMD you must download drivers for AMD, not for Intel. Just search chipset of your motherboard an raid AMD and your socket example "am4 raid AMD drivers B450"
