parsec,
Hmmmm, maybe a virgin to PC PCIe M.2 arrays, yes... But an old hand since the punch card days... and dealt more with IBM storage subsystems... last I was involved with around 5 years back was the V7000s mainly... Never ran RAID 0 on those, but certainly leveraged SSDs to help the HDD performance.
Also did RAID 0 on HDDs in PCs such as velociraptors, but that's a while ago too. Have been using SATA SSDs for quite some time straight, not in RAID. LOL.
It took several hours, but I finally got the IRST utility to work. NO idea why this has been so challenging, but something is amiss...
It's funny because I'd downloaded directly from Intel - same install file. But downloaded a new one from ASRock and reinstalled with that.
Now the fun part, LOL. The Utility shows the RAID 0 arrays as... FAILED! OMG. It shows one of the SSDs as being in a failed state. Yet, everything still seems to be functioning, I would have expected for the array to completely fail if one drive fails in RAID 0.
Again, bizarre. I'm not sure how to check the actual performance of each 960 Evo drive with an alternative, thinking about this.
Maybe the drive is faulty? Fun ride huh? Appreciate the help, it's great to have someone that knows what they're doing to reach out to - much appreciated!
