Hey Everyone,
I have an MSI X99S Gaming 9 AC motherboard with an Intel P3608 PCIE NVME drive. The 3608 is technically two 800GB Intel 750 series drives on the same board and requires a RAID 0 setup in order to get the full performance and capacity out of the single drive. In order to do this "correctly", I need to be able to use the Intel RSTe (Enterprise version of Intel Rapid Storage) to set up the array. While the RSTe program loads up fine, it doesnt detect any of the drives in the system other than my BLU-RAY drive. Having said this, as I eluded to earlier, all drives detect correctly in Disk Management. I have the latest BIOS installed with the updated ME drivers installed as well. If I do the raid via Disk Management, I lose the ability to trim the drive which is obviously not good.
I normally use ASUS motherboards but none of the X99 ASUS boards were out when I built the system. I have always been able to find BIOS's where users patched in the ability to use the Enterprise Intel controller software, but not that I *really* need it (from what I can tell) I have gotten ZERO responses from the MSI forums, so figured I would see if anyone here has run into this before and has any ideas for me to try.
Thanks!
