[SOLVED] How to set 2 SSD in Asus HYPER M.2 X16 CARD V2

[Rainteq]

Hey guys,
Today I would like to ask you how to configure the NVMe adapter from Asus.

I had earlier a B550 which had 3 NVMe slots but once I switched to X570, I had to find a solution to mount an additional 2 NVMe in one adapter (earlier had 1 additional PCIe NVMe adapter).

My current config:
Asus X570 ROG CROSSHAIR VIII FORMULA (BIOS 3204)
AMD Ryzen 3950X

And here comes the problems.

I placed GPU in the PCIEX16_2 slot and the NVMe adapter in PCIEX16_1. I turned on bifurcation in BIOS (AUTO > RAID MODE) but still I can't see 2nd drive.

BIOS is giving me only a callback about one drive:

HYPER M.2 config:

• M.2(SOCKET3)_1:
• M.2(SOCKET3)_2: Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe
• M.2(SOCKET3)_3:
• M.2(SOCKET3)_4: PNY 1TB NVMe XLR8 CS3030

Just to be clear I don't want to do a RAID from these discs. I want to have 2 separate storage devices that I can use.

i don't think you can see them separately, its a RAID card. I know you don't want to run as RAID but card doesn't appear to work any other way. only way it can access both drives is as a raid array. the controller on the chip isn't set up for anything else.

Ah! Solved it!

Had to turn on raid mode on NVMe is drives settings and change PCI-EX16_1 to _2.

PCIEX16_1 - is only capable to read 1 SSD
PCIEX16_2 - is capable to read 2 SSD

Also had to swap drives in the adapter to slot 1&2.

Now everything works like a charm.
