Does the Intel-based HP OMEN 40L Desktop support motherboard-based RAID 1 (mirror mode) with SATA drives? The driver download page does list "Intel RST driver (RAID)", but I am seeing some say they can't get RAID working. 

 

NONE of the HP OMEN Desktop specs and manuals say RAID is supported. For gaming and Big Data / AI work, I like to run 2 separate SSDs and also a RAID 1 SATA for bulk-data and backup. My preference is for the Intel-based motherboard + driver approach to RAID 1, as opposed to setting up software-based storage volumes via Windows.

 

Thanks

@ThomasG-Retired , welcome to the Community.

 

What is the Product Number of the computer? I need this information to review the specifications of it. Please don't furnish the Serial # or other personal information. You can find the Product Number at the bottom of the page when you open HP Support Assistant.

 

Before you reply to my request, I suggest checking in the BIOS/UEFI to see if there is a section on RAID.  All of the older HP computers that I have used did have RAID 1 as an option.  I haven't seen the BIOS/UEFI for the new 40L series.

Hi Old Geekster,

 

I am looking at buying the OMEN 40L Gaming Desktop GT21-0350st, so I don't have one in front of me to explore.

 

If based on the Intel Z690 chip, it should support RAID 0/1/5/10 if HP hasn't doesn't done something to disable it. Unlike the 40+ other HP PCs I've bought for home and business use, it sounds like OMENs like to lock down some features, and I can't tell if RAID has been disabled. I understand RAID 1 with the latest SSD standard may not be supported under Windows 11, but I only do RAID with SATA drives.

 

Thanks,

Thomas Gilg
