HP ENVY 16 inch Laptop PC 16-h0000 (534C7AV)

I've installed 2 -  1TB Samsung 990 Pro NVMEs into the laptop. Both are recognized, with no issues.

 

Does anyone know...
1. Is RAID 0/1 supported?
2. If so, what are the configuration steps to enable it?

 

Thanks in advance.  🙏

 

NOTES:

Three articles, linked below indicate that this can be configured as a RAID 0 (assuming RAID 1 as well). For the life of me, I cannot figure out if this is actually supported, and if so, how to enable it. 

I chatted with support today through their SmartFriend service, and they were unable to tell me if it is support or how I can enable it. I'll probably end up giving them a callback. I figured at least they may know, but they seemed stumped.

I would assume this is the same with the HP ENVY 17 Series (17t-cr000 and 17t-cr0000), just that it is a bit larger in size.

2022 HP Envy 16 laptop review: For multimedia, gamers, creators, and everyone in between

Storage Devices — RAID 0 Support

Our test unit ships with the same Micron 3400  PCIe4 x4 NVMe SSD as found on many other high-end systems including the MSI Stealth GS77  or HP Spectre x360 13.5 . The drive exhibits no throttling issues on our test unit, but write rates aren't nearly as fast as on the competing Samsung PM9A1 series.

HP includes just one SSD cover despite having two SSD slots. If you plan on installing a second drive, then there's a good chance that it may run at warmer temperatures.

HP Envy 16 review: creative performance for less

My loaded $2,600 review unit came with the 45-watt 14-core/20-thread Core i9-12900H CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM , fast 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD (with two 1TB SSDs running in RAID 0 as an even faster option), and an RTX 3060 GPU.

The Envy 16 can be configured with 12th-Gen Intel Core i5, i7, or i9 H-series processors, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics (with 6 GB of GDDR6 RAM) or Intel Arc A370M graphics (with 4 GB of GDDR6 RAM), 16 or 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, and up to 2 TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage, which can be configured as 1 TB in RAID 0 if desired.
