April 14, 20206 yr Hi, I have a Asrock X570 Prime motherboard and a AMD 3900X CPU. If I setup 2x 500GB NVMe SSDs in RAID 1 in the BIOS will Unraid detect it? I would like to store VMs on an unassigned device and not worry about space issues on the cache drives. Thanks! David

April 15, 20206 yr Are you able to use two NVMe (970 evo plus) to form the main array? One as Parity and the other as Data instead of mechanical drives.

SSD’s in the main array is not a supported configuration although some users have tried it with apparent success. The main restriction is that array drives do not support the ‘trim’ operation so the SSD performance can degrade over time as a result.
