I've been on Intel based setups for some time now, believe the last AMD in my main rig was a FX55? Anyway.. just replaced my 9900 with the 5900x setup in my siggy and I'm about to start tweaking it after I get all the data back on the RAID. I have a RAID 1 and 0 running. The intel RAID function was a pill if your system crashed for any reason and wanted to "verify" the RAID data if it detected a crash. Very time consuming if you have a few TB on tap. I got in the habit of disconnecting the SATA drives when I was experimenting with aggressive OC's. Is the AMD RAID as touchy with system crashes?

havent used it since fx line but it worked fine and i never had an issue with it. dont think i ever had to rebuild.
 
FYI. Started some undervolting last night... got a BSOD.... the RAID1 promptly started a verify operation. So it looks to be the same as the Intel integrated.
 
Any crash requires verification that the array is "clean" - that's even true of most software RAID (or should be). If one of the drives caused the crash, you don't want to do shit with bad data.

Had I seen this I'd have told you that would have been the case. This will always happen when the system crashes and you have a RAID array configured.
 
Oh well.. live and learn. The good news is the AMD RAID software has the option to cancel the whole volume verify.
