I want to buy a new rig.
Thinking about the ASUS ROG Strix Z590-E mobo.
I'd like to install 2 Samsung 980 Pro (PCIe 4.0) (Up to 7,000 MB/s Read ; Up to 5,100 MB/s Write) in RAID 1
But then I saw this in the ASUS ROG Strix Z590-E mobo manual :
"Raid function for PCIe mode SSD in Intel® Rapid Storage Technology is available with either 1. Intel® SSDs installed in both CPU-attached and PCH-attached slots, or 2. any other 3rd party SSDs installed in PCH-attached slots."
There's 2 CPU-Attached PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots on that motherboard. Also two PCH-attached PCIe 3.0 M.2 slots.
According to the above statement, if I use 2 Samsung SSDs, I won't be able to connect them to the PCI 4.0 Slots... Only with Intel SSDs I'd be allowed to. They just don't make Intel PCIe 4.0 M.2 drives... Yet... I think.
What do you think? If I use Samsung SSDs instead in 4.0 slots, will it work?
