Recovering Data from RAID

How to Create a Hardware RAID on a Motherboard? Each motherboard manufacturer provides its own interface, organization, and BIOS functions. Therefore, the process of creating a disk array will vary depending on the motherboard. The hardware RAID itself—supported configurations (levels) and their capabilities—is determined by the RAID technology from the chipset manufacturer, namely Intel and AMD.

Below, we will examine in detail the implementation of RAID on an Asus motherboard using the AMD platform. We will explore the capabilities of modern AMD hardware RAID technology, how to create such a RAID, how to delete it, and what to do if you encounter issues.

How to Create a Hardware RAID on a Motherboard? Each motherboard manufacturer has its own BIOS interface and functionality, which means the procedure can vary. However, the core operation of hardware RAID using a motherboard is determined by the disk array implementation technology. There are implementations from both Intel and AMD.

In this article, we will take a detailed look at the implementation of RAID in the BIOS of an Asus motherboard on the Intel platform – how to create a RAID, what to do if you encounter issues, and how to remove it.

How to Create a Hardware RAID on an Intel Platform, i.e., on a computer with an Intel processor and motherboard chipset? This can be done using the BIOS tools or by using the Windows application Intel Optane Memory and Storage Management.

Below, we will explore how to create a RAID using this program, how to recover it in case of degradation, and how to delete it. But first, let's discuss the technology behind Intel's hardware RAID implementation - Intel Rapid Storage.
