Product: ZBook 15u G4
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Has anyone ever succeeded in setting up a RAID-1 in a ZBook 15 G4? After many hours of fruitless attempts, I'm now convinced it can't be done despite  HP official specs listing hardware-level RAID 0/1 support for this device:

 

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-zbook-15u-g4-mobile-workstation/14523295/model/14523296/docu...

 

However,  HP's own documentation on BIOS Specs for commercial platforms 2016-2018 i.e. Gen 3-5 says that RAID-configuration options in BIOS are only available for desktop devices.

Moreover, the readout from the HP Bios setup utility does not contain any RAID-options, hence it's no suprise they never showed up no matter how I changed the configuration.

 

I do know that earlier generation ZBooks had this function. I myself have owned a G1 ZBook15 where I ended up being able to configure a hardware-level based RAID-1 with two SSD's. Not with this G4 ZBook15 though.

Given the fact that I've explicitly bought a ZBook again because I wanted hardware-level RAID-1 support, I'm very disappointed as I'm now convinced that the RAID-support in the official HP Specs for G4 ZBooks is a labelling error.

So I'd be really pleased and surprised if anyone has managed to do this...

Thank you for your thoughts on this
