AMD to Release NVMe RAID Support for X399 September 25th

AMD to Release NVMe RAID Support for X399 September 25th

More news coming AMD is that the X399 motherboards will be supporting Bootable NVME RAID. A nice free upgrade I'd say. AMD got some heat recently, not having this feature available.

So to hook into that last topic, the feature was not available just yet. AMD will be releasing a free NVMe driver for the X399 platform. The new driver will enabled RAID 0, 1 and 10 with up-to 10 devices. If you wanted to RAID three M2 SSDs, now you can. You could in theory also add M2 SSDs on a PCI-Express add-in card and have these join the RAID group. It is not yet known if the feature is a chipset function or a software based solution.

 

 

The good news is that the new RAID driver is bootable. This however will require a BIOS update. The driver and BIOS updates should become available starting September 25th.

Don't flame me, but I have a question: under what circumstances does it make sense to go RAID on M2?
I've read an interesting article a couple of years ago @TH where they clearly stated that other than benchmarking there was no gain.
Of couse they could be wrong/outdated.
Also, can you have TRIM support on the RAID?

afaik unless you have pcie ssd's in slots on x99.x299, there was no gain since all of the chipset io is restricted to pcie 3.0 x4 total bandwidth of which i believe most boards connect nvme drives to, thread ripper doesn't have this issue, since it can support 3 native pcie 3.0x4 nvme drives directly connected to the cpu in most board configurations, remains to be seen however what kind of performance scaling you can get from it and whether it even matters (who would really need > 2.5-3gb/s anyway).

What, AMD not selling a key to unlock it? ;)

I personally don't see the benefits of putting NVMe drives in RAID, but I don't deal with large amounts of data. At least people will stop complaining about it now.

I hardly can think of a consumer / user end scenario where you'd need to much write/read performance (if coming from one fast m2 unit), redundancy maybe. It became a bit of a thing with a click-bait article on the web, Intel had it AMD did not and then the flood-gates opened up.

Then again, for pro usage, video editing / content creation / virtualization with databases, that could be a help.In the end it's another good feature, but one that consumers would hardly use imho.

Well what was the reason that RAID was invented in first place? :) Backups, if one drive fails - you can replace it with new one without loosing data.

In nutshell: if you want really hi-speed fail-safe option.
