Z2 Tower G9 Hardware RAID

[DMeusy]

We need to hardware RAID a couple 4TB drives in a new Z2 Tower G9. We need to Bitlock all drives so Software RAID won't work. I am not seeing an option in the BIOS.

Am I missing something?

THE Z2 G9 IS A A LOWCOST WORKSTATION MODEL, it has no vroc support however it does support Raid 0/1 through the intel chipset for  arrays using the VMD + Intel RSTE driver for NVME drives

Maintenance and Service Guide  see page 88 vmd raid

if you require SATA based raid array then you might want to look at older used dedicated pci-e raid cards like the ASR-8805

Thanks for the reply.

So I am clear, without the VROC hardware RAID is not possible, is this correct?
