EVGA Z490 FTW (122-CL-E497)
The controller defaults the capacity to the maximum available space for the RAID.
Leaving the capacity at default is recommended because reducing the size is not
beneficial, except in limited cases.
To complete the setup process, please select "Create Volume" at the bottom of the
page. Depending on the array type, drive type, and volume this can take a few seconds
to a few minutes.
Once the array is completed you will see the text shown on the next page, or something
similar based on the array type and drives used. At this point, the array is ready to use.
If your array will be your boot drive, the operating system will normally detect the array
and see it as a single drive (this is expected), it *MAY* detect it as a RAID array; either
way, the OS installation will show the size of the array, not a single drive, and allow you
to install the OS to the array without any further steps. However, depending on the OS
version, you may need to install RAID drivers for the RAID array to be detected.
If this is meant to be a secondary array, your next step is to partition and format the
array within Windows. Please see Page 85 for setup in Windows 10.
