Hi.

 

Is it possible to setup 2 NVME disks in Raid 1 and boot from this storage?

Or do you have to have 3 NVMEs, or 1 NVME and 2 SATA SSDs?

(1 for OS and 2 for Raid 1 for data storage)

 

Kind Regards - Dennis

That was your question.   When we answer members questions we generally assume, and I believe correctly, that unless otherwise stated, their question is in reference to their specific HP device.  That is the intended scope and format of this community forum.

HP has produced and brought to market more than a thousand different models of notebooks and desktop PCs over the years.


It is difficult to help you if we don't know which specific model you own..

Method #1: If the notebook/desktop will boot into Windows, you can retrieve your Product Number by pressing Fn + Esc key.

Method #2: Press the power button and immediately tap the F10 key to invoke the BIOS. In the Main section, you will find the Product number or Product ID. Post that in your next reply in your thread.

Method #3: Press the power button and immediately tap the F2 key.
If your laptop/Desktop has HP Hardware Diagnostics UEFI version 10.3.0.0, there is a System Information section that also has the Product ID.
We need that information, along with the installed Operating System information to help you.

Sorry, it is concerning a Workstation Z2 G9 model number: 98T56ET#UUW 🙂

Yes. That is called disk mirroring and a 2 disk setup is the norm.

Thanks, but that doesn't really answer my question about this specific model 🙂
