Raid SATA Drivers Not Compatible? Asus x399-A Prime & Windows 10

[davide3d]

I recently upgraded my computer, but can not find drivers that will run a Raid 0 Array I made with Raidxpert2.

MB: Asus x399-A Prime [latest bios already downloaded]
CPU: TR4 1950x
STRG: (x2) Samsung 840 EVO 250gb thru SATA 6gb [Made into Raid 0 with Raidxpert2, and it is detected in the BIOS] (I followed the user guide, and I also went to my locally owned Computer Repair shop, who confirmed that It was created properly)

I am installing the latest vrt. of Windows 10 Home 64 bit via a flash drive
I am stuck at the "Where do you want to install windows?" Screen
When NOT in RAID mode, both the SSDs can install Windows 10 on that screen.

I am trying to use the latest drivers on Asus's Site, but none of them are detected (I can only browse to the folders they are inside. If I turn off "Hide drivers that aren't compatible..." I can see, select, and install the drivers, but they don't work. (As one might suspect since they are not compatable)

Drivers I am using https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-X399-A/HelpDesk_Download/
(They are in the drop down list of the SATA section)
(I am using a flash drive to install the drivers)

Version 8.2.0.24
2017/08/092.07 MBytes
AMD RAID driver
AMD RAID driver V8.2.0.24 for Windows Win10 64bit---(WHQL).

I also tried

Version 8.2.0.29
2017/08/09104.47 MBytes
AMD RAIDXpert2
AMD RAIDXpert2 V8.2.0.29 for Windows Win10 64bit---(WHQL).

but it did not work.

These are both sata 6gb SSDs that I used in my previous computer's Intel RAID 0 array. (It worked fine there)

I deleted their array via my new motherboard, and again deleted their partition via my windows thumb drive when testing to see if they both could install windows without RAID. (I created my new RAID 0 array with Raidxpert2 after that)

A much later version shows up on AMD's website for TR dated the 13th of this month

Have you checked your bios settings, since I assume the raid controller is embedded?

Just don't. And save yourself some headache.
Benefits of having SSDs in RAID0 are close to none.

Thanks, Looks like the issue was Asus not updating that part of the website. (And in turn me not looking directly to AMDs website)

I am not looking for for the speed, I just need a drive that has more then 350GB (on the main C: drive) of space on it for programs I work with daily. I did not want to shell out more cash for a drive If i could just use the ones I already had.

Ya know...you can install applications on other drives, or have other drives be a file save location.
It's just another drive letter. Exact same drive space.

Having my project files (in my workflow) spill over to a second SSD would be very annoying, especial if someone else has to work with my files. (I have to work out of a very large source folder) I assure you there is a reason a signal large drive is easier for me then 2 separate drives. In any case, I have set up the RAID and all seems to be working fine.
