Unfortunately I can only use windows 10/11 as AMD has no driver for RAID on Linux. https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-strx4/trx...

Using Asus hyper with 4 nvme drives on RAID. Anyone else in this situation?



You don't need a raid-driver for linux:

https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_setup

That AMD-"raid" is Software too..the same as linux.

~pure Hardware raid's never need drivers, because you tell the hardware (raid controller) to present the hard-disks as one (or whatever you want) device to the Operating-system. Some management tools are sometimes used (start raid scrubbing etc).

BTW: Don't use Raid5 if you don't have a UPS (if you use software raid), or a battery buffered write-cache (hardware raid) aka write-hole:

Does it do a kind of raid that Linux software raid doesn’t support?
