Can anyone tell me how to setup the bios in the ga-h97-gaming 3 to Recognise Two 950pro attached to two ADDONICS adm2px4.
I have tried just about all conceivable settings and it still wont recognise the 950pro as usable raid drives.
Would I be right in assuming the raid on this m/b is only for sata type drives and therefore leaving nvme out in the dark.
I don't use RAID but most motherboards have several SATA ports on them and maybe one PATA port, usually for Optical drives, but NVMe is something different.Can anyone tell me how to setup the bios in the ga-h97-gaming 3 to Recognise Two 950pro attached to two ADDONICS adm2px4.

"NVM" stands as an initialism for "non-volatile memory", which is commonly flash memory that comes in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs). NVM Express, as a logical device interface, has been designed from the ground up to capitalize on the low latency and internal parallelism of flash-based storage devices, mirroring the parallelism of contemporary CPUs, platforms and applications.
The only way I know of with PCIe devices is using software raid or fakeRaid. It isn't as fast as a hardware raid but is also much cheaper. It does have it's risks though. You first need to have everything off the 2 identical drives you want to Raid. Hit the Windows key +S and search for storage spaces. It should list all the drives connected, just select which 2 and follow the prompts. There may be other ways but I don't know about them for PCIe drives.
I believe this is just a limitation of new technology. This is new tech and no one has developed ways of creating raid outside of the sata bus other than hardware raid, which I don't even know if it can be done with raid cards yet. I have never tried it myself, but that's the only way I am aware of to do it and I'm not totally sure it is a real raid but does allow you to pool drive spaces, at least.
I would think it is either a limitation of the addon cards, or the mobo and bios, or both.
It is possible on 170 series mobo's if you have more than one M2 connection. I have done it on mine for a while. Not sure if I could do it with one M2 along with one addon card though.
