I recently purchased a VAIO Canvas which came with 2 x Samsung PCIe SSD drives installed. They are set up in ACHI mode but I would like to set them up in a RAID 1 but can’t find drivers that work. I have tried the 64bit Intel RST(e) AHCI/RAID Drivers v13.2.4.1000 WHQL but they ain’t working unless I’m doing something wrong.
Does anyone know if it is possible to run this in a RAID 1 configuration and how to do so and if it is possible to set up the RAID after installation of Windows. (Running Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit)
I have attached images below from device managers showing relevant details.
AFAIK it is impossible with your current configuration a) to use any Intel RST drivers and b) to create an Intel RAID array. What you can do is the creation of a “Software RAID” from within Windows 10. >Here< is a video, which shows how to manage it.
No, a Windows Software RAID is less performant than an Intel RAID array. By the way: A RAID1 array is generally not much faster than a single disk drive. So if you want the best possible performance, you should create a RAID0 and not a RAID1 array.

There is no option to add a RAID 0. The add new striped volume is greyed out, I have converted the second disk to a dynamic disk as it says in Windows help but no luck
Which AHCI drivers are the best ones to use for my system. Currently using the standard Microsoft ones. I tried to update to the intel ones but it doesn’t work saying that my current drivers are the most up to date.
You can find the answer within the start post of >this< thread.
Such messages are absolute misleading. You will always get them, when you try to replace an MS in-box or WHQL certified driver by an older or not digitally signed driver. Solution: Hit the “Have Disk” button and navigate to the desired driver.
