AMD fixes the X399 chipset bug for the AMD Ryzen Threadripper and will add support for RAID 0/1/10 configurations for NVMe SSDs using a special driver, which will arrive in late September.

One of the main controversies about processors [amazon_textlink asin = 'B074CBH3R4 ′ text =' AMD Ryzen Threadripper 'template =' ProductLink 'store =' hardwa028-21 ′ marketplace = 'ES' link_id = '50b966d6-8e68-11e7-9710 -a388f50e49f4 ′], intended for the professional segments, was the absence of support for the RAID configuration of NVMe SSD units, something that surprised locals and strangers, since this type of configuration is a fundamental basis for photo and video editors, which allow you to move files at high speed. The AMD X399 chipset had this support, therefore we could not do it natively, but if by software, although of course, it was a bit absurd since it did not allow to install the operating system and boot from these units.

AMD seems to have worked on quickly fixing this problem and during the official launch of the Threadripper 1900X, it has highlighted that a special driver has been published to offer RAID configuration of up to ten NVMe drives compatible with the X399 chipset and that will allow booting from these settings. This update is not available yet, as it will arrive on September 25, if nothing happens and it will allow RAID 0/1/10 configurations of NVMe SSDs.

This is in stark contrast to Intel's solution. Intel offers RAID 0/1/10 configurations natively in the Basins Falls without major problems, although it has implemented VROC technology, which allows using the motherboard's PCIe ports to create configurations of up to 20 NVMe SSDs directly with the processor, bypassing the chipset, increasing transfer speeds. VROC natively and free of charge allows RAID 0 configuration, but through a special key that is installed on the motherboard itself, it allows RAID 0/1/10 configurations using NVMe SSDs. They are two different ways of understanding things.
