davidst95 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment

If you search the forum there is a post somewhere about setting up a BTRFS RAID1 and using it in UD, but I don't remember where I saw it. Quote Link to comment
Jim007 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment

The main restriction is that array drives do not support the ‘trim’ operation so the SSD performance can degrade over time as a result. Quote Link to comment
