Initialize Disks - MSI X470 GAMING PLUS User Manual

Initialize Disks

New disks and legacy disks must be initialized before they can be used to create an
AMD-RAID array. Initialization writes AMD-RAID configuration information (metadata)
to a disk.
Important
If a disk is part of an AMD-RAID array, the disk cannot be selected for initialization.
y
To initialize the disk anyway, delete the AMD-RAID array. Data on the disk is deleted
during initialization so ensure the correct disks are chosen to initialize.
A legacy disk can contain valid data. When a legacy disk is initialized, all data on the
y
disk is lost.
