Asus Rampage OMEGA - please help me configure my M.2 drive

[Zbigniew]

*--------------------------------------------------*
Computer specification:
Asus Rampage OMEGA
I7-7820X
4x8GB G.Skill CL-14
GTX Strix 1070Ti Advanced
M.2_1: Samsung 970Pro
Dimm M2.2_1: Samsung 970Pro
Bios 0218 and 0504 in the default settings.
None VROC Intel
I threw everything else out for checking
*--------------------------------------------------*
I will change the title of the post when I will be finally satisfied.
As a beta tester, I lost a few hours and 700 EURO.
I have been a fan of HEDT Asus since 2000.
I've had almost all motherboards of this class.

PROBLEM:

A) If the AHCI mode is enabled by default and two disks are detected correctly.
It can be done by every motherboard from 80euro 🙂
Photographs below:




1. I run from the RAID PCH bios using the EZ Tuning Wizard (alternatively I also tried manually)
They can make motherboards for 120 euro. :cool:
2. In both cases, the automatic reset is correct, of course.
After rebooting, the drive in slot M.2_1 disappears as fast as the train in the subway.
Photographs below:




Swapping disks places -> no changes
(SSD's in the sockets assigned to the CPU are not detected - normally, ok - I do not have a VROC key)
Why so expensive Motherboard HEDT has problems with it when several times cheaper can do it?
Maybe the user is stupid and the Motherboard is correct? :rolleyes:
I do not have any ideas anymore. I ask the Asus ROG fans for help, not first time.
Thank you for your interest.

I added again my important explanation, which was removed unnecessarily:
"I would also like to add that currently I also have Asus Rampage APEX, everything works well.
The above Samsung's have been operating properly for Asus Rampage VI Extreme in RAID0 mode (both 960EVO and 970PRO)"
This is an absolutely new product. It is in this forum that new owners should seek help.
No where else. Great help for end users in this forum - this is my main reason for buying Asus products.
(No EVGA, MSI, ASROCK, GIGABYTE, etc.)

Nobody helped me. 😞
I will ask differently for solving the problem.
Scenario:
I am buying a KryoM.2 M2 PCI-e adapter
I mount Samsung SSD 970 Pro on it.
I run the drive from the PCIEX4 connector.
I run the second disk through the PCH M2 connector.
Is it possible to run RAID0 arrays in this case?
I am willing to buy it if I knew it would be successful.
Did anyone try that?
The Intel RST PCH Raid0 is running in the manual and in the BIOS. EZ Tuning Wizard allows you to create a Matrix Raid 0 through PCH.
I clearly see this option. Is this the solution to the problem? Did anyone try that?

It may have disappeared from that bios screen but are you still able to select RST and create a raid volume with the drives? I think either the NVME status on another menu will show the drive that disappeared from that particular screen above but should both show up when creating RST volumes.

[Zbigniew]

Unfortunately, fiasco.
If I choose the RST mode:
The disk does not appear when creating a Raid volume in the bios.
The disk does not show up in the selection of bios boot disks.
The disk does not show up in the Win10 installer.
The disk disappears like a train in the subway. Forever.
The Raid array can not be created for this reason.
I checked it on two copies of the Asus Rampage Omega.
NO SUCCES!
On the motherboard Asus Rampage Apex and Asus Strix z270f gaming, both disks work in Intel RST correctly.
You can live without a Raid matrix, the gain from acceleration is relatively small.
If the instructions promise, why does not it work properly?
What do you think about the use of a prosthesis on the PCIE x4 connector, as I wrote earlier?

Nothing else comes to mind.
Wall!

Kindly. why not just install both Samsung 970 on DIMM.2 and RAID it?

Must also disable CSM and also go to BIOS -> Advanced -> CPU STorage -> DIMM.2 -> Enabled

Your CPU lacks PCI-lanes to enable all features of this board.
