no, the base models will not do hardware raid

 

however several options are available that differ depending on if you have the Core or Xeon based motherboard

 

the core model supports "Semi" intel  based raid that is a low/midrange performance raid that is in-between software/hardware type raid as it's embedded in the bios

 

it supports

SATA RAID 0 Striped Array Configuration
SATA RAID 1 Mirrored Array Configuration
SATA RAID 5 Striped/Parity Configuration
SATA RAID 10 Striped/Mirrored Configuration

 

the Xeon based system supports intel "Vroc" raid via a hardware activation key

 

Intel® VROC NVMe SSD Standard Controller Module N Y 3FJ80AA 1,3
Intel® VROC NVMe SSD Premium Controller Module N Y 3FJ81AA 2,3
NOTE 1: Enables RAID 0, 1 & 10
NOTE 2: Enables RAID 0, 1 & 10 plus RAID 5 with write hole closure options.
NOTE 3: Xeon processor required

 

SAS Controller
MicroSemi SmartHBA2100-4i4e SAS Controller  1FV90AA
NOTE: Only available on Xeon W configurations
