Windows 10 not show AMD RAID SSD as SSD disks

Important Drivers General: Storage Drivers (AHCI/RAID, NVMe and USB)

Hello friends, how are you?

I setup Windows 10 with AMD RAID 0 (3 x SSDs) volume.
After, I notice that Windows shows RAID volume as HDD, not SSD. Also, no TRIM available. (This information can be checked at defrag tool).
It´s a RAID driver problem or RAID firmware problem?
My system is described below.

Thanks!

@jrcmilanez :
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!

The first problem (Windows sees the RAIDed SSD as HDD) is Windows related and can be solved by running the Command Prompt as Admin, entering the following command:

and hitting the "Enter" key. After having done the storage drive performance test of the "Windows Experience Index", the Win10 "Optimizer" should detect your SSDs correctly.

The other probem (no TRIM activity within the AMD RAID array) is AMD related and can only be solved by AMD. AFAIK none of the AMD RAID drivers do support the "TRIM in RAID0" feature.

Thanks for the info, Fernando.

Another AMD RAID setup (RAID 5, RAID 10 or JOBD) supports trim?

AFAIK the Intel RST RAID drivers from v11 up are the only ones, which do support TRIM.

Is it possible to find an add-on card with intel raid chipset? I don’t want to change my motherboard/cpu :frowning:

AFAIK there are no add-on cards with an Intel RAID Controller available.
