I’m looking to build a new system based on either a 7600X or 7700X and am looking for NVMe RAID ideally to the CPU but through the chipset would likely work. My current system uses a 2700X and a Crosshair VII Hero Wifi board which Wendell used for a guide on NVMe RAID to the CPU. The SSDs I have are just basic WD SN750 PCIe3 1TB drives.
I took a look at the manual for the Asus Prime X670-P and it said there was a RAID utility but didn’t specify which slots could be raided and how it would work.
Is there any information available on this yet? I’d also like to know if this might be something B650 supports based on whether B550 can do it today.
The included RAID on AMD systems is mostly software with some CPU bits to offload calulcations. (The same applies to Intel RAID). So you should be able to RAID drives from any slots, including those going through the chipset.
If you’re planning on running linux you should look into using a Linux software RAID, like MDADM (Or ZFS for data drives).
I’d assume B650 will support it as well. The only stated difference between them at this point is the number of USB and PCI-E lanes hanging off the chipset.
Raid should be software. So Linux or Windows…better hyphervisor or Virtual machine.
As soom as I heard 2 gpu units on all CPU;'s I went to virtulize anything you run with roll back…
Im a proffit… Never trust software when you can bin it
Windows 10 Pro had Storage Spaces last time I looked. This does amazing RAID type things but you can’t boot off the array, you’d need a normal C: drive arrangement.
