X299 Edition 30: NVMe M.2 SSD Setup Issues > HELP!

I now have my new X299 Edition 30 based system booting from M.2 SSD in RAID0. Why am I having serious problems adding 3 additional NVMe SSD (in the X299 ED 30 MOBO-based M.2 sockets?

I choose to use a HighPoint SSD7103 Bootable SSD RAID0 PCIEX module. That is how I still have (3) MOBO M.2 sockets available.The HighPoint SSD7103 holds up to 4 NVMe M.2's. I put (4) EVO 970 Plus 250 GB SSD 'under the hood' in RAID0. Understand I am using the INTEL I9-10900X 48 Lane CPU, so I have all available PCIEX Lanes to use by dumping SATA1 and SATA6. I have one GTX-1070 GPU in PCIEX16_1, the HighPoint SSD7103 in PCIEX16_2 and PCIEX_3 is free just in case I need it.

So,tell me why I can not find a way to make the SSD's in MOBO M.2 1-3 visible in Windows 10 Pro? Normally an un-initialized disk will do that but these SSD were used in my last X99 system.

Any ideas out there?

It's cool!

Still not resolved.

Tried using M.2_1, M.2_2 and M.2_3.
Then tried using a HYPER M.2 X16. Set X299 bios to HYPER M.2 DATA. Similar problem.

I have bootable RAID0 via HighPoint SSD7103. Just need to install 2-3 additional SSD. However it seems that I am restricted to 2 SSD in HYPER m.2 due to ASUS X299 Ed. 30 PCIEX bifurcation (PCIEX_1 and PCIEX_2 are loaded with GTX-1070 and HP SSD7103 (4 SSD installed), therefore a HYPER M.2 in PCIEX_3 would be l;limited to (2) SSD). I think.


Where are the suggestions? I'm still in this same issue!

Later.
