Hi all,
I have a need to create a RAID 1 between two Western Digital 1 TB Blue SN550 NVMe Internal SSD Gen3 x4 PCIe 8Gb.s, M,2 2280, 3D NAND, Up to 2,400MB/s - WDS100T2B0C.
I am using a Gigabyte C246M WU4 Motherboard.
The manual's explanation for this configuration is straightforward; however, I am unable to get these two drives to be recognized in the Intel(R) RSTe SATA Controller submenu.
The motherboard recognizes the two disks in the NVMe Configuration and I have installed Windows 10 OS on them with no hiccups. Currently I am running a software RAID 1 through disk management, but I would still like to figure out why I cannot RAID them in BIOS.
Here are the steps I have taken as per the manual's instructions:
Configuring SATA controller mode in BIOS Setup
I am using version F3 and I know there's a newer version but the changes don't address the RAID/NVMe configurations. Could this be an intel driver issue?
Please Help!
Best,

Here are the steps I have taken as per the manual's instructions:
Configuring SATA controller mode in BIOS Setup
- Go to Peripherals\SATA and RST Configuration, make sure SATA controller(s) is enabled.
- To create RAID, set SATA Mode Selection to Intel RST Premium With Intel Optane System Acceleration.
- Save settings and restart.
- NOTE:
- When using a PCIe SSD (WHICH I AM), make sure to set the USE RST Legacy OROM item under Peripherals\SATA And RST Configuration to Disabled .
- Then depending the M.2 connector you use, set the corresponding PCIe Storage Dev on Port XX item to RST Controlled.
- Finally save settings and restart.
