AMD RAID Configuration The following are the RAID levels supported by RAIDXpert2. RAID 0 (Striping) breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives. Spreading the hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly improves I/O performance. RAID 1 (Mirroring) provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives and provides enhanced read performance.
Initializing 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. To initial the disk anyway, delete the AMD-RAID array.
Creating Arrays Arrays can be created after the disks are initialized. Important For redundant arrays, the Create process is not started until after the operating system and AMD-RAID OS drivers have been installed and the system has booted to the operating system. However, the arrays are immediately available to use for either a bootable array or a data array.
Deleting Arrays Important Deleting an array permanently destroys all data that is on the array. This action cannot be undone and it is very unlikely that the data can be recovered. Do not delete the first array listed in the Arrays section, if it is the AMD-RAID bootable array.
2. When prompted, insert the USB flash drive with AMD RAID Drivers and then click Browse. To make an AMD RAID Drivers USB flash drive. Insert the MSI Driver Disc into the optical drive. Copy all the contents in \\Storage\AMD\AMD\Packages\Drivers\ SBDrv\RAID_NVMe 3.
