NUC11TNHv7 RAID issue

[BigJ]

I have got a NUC11TNHv7 and trying to use the 2242 and sata with raid settings.  I bought 2 transcend mts430s (which is in the compatibility list), one of the connect with the 2242 m.2 slot, the other one connect with the 2242 to sata converter.  when i set them to VMD and install the intel official drivers to setup the RAID 0, less than 1 day, one of the SSD lost (should be the m.2 2242 slot one), in BIOs, the drive still listed in the storage section but Windows does recognise it.  I have tried using windows storage spaces with the same result.  any problems with the settings? or because of any other problem.  I knew that the NUC11 does not support RAID, but even windows storage spaces is just a software RAID.  *******I did try running both SSD separate without any problems.

no one answers?

1. What is the BIOS version?

TNTGLV57

2. What is the Windows version and build?

Win 10 Pro 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1165)

3. What is the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST)?

I did try driver 18.1.1.1033 and also the latest 18.1.6.1039

4. Have you tried to allocate the disk at the disk manager (right-click on **bleep**)?

of course, i did try using the RST to form the RAID, and i also tried to use Windows Storage Manager, same result.  Now i am using the Windows disk management to form the RAID for a couple of days, seems without problem (see attachment).

Also, bear in mind that using an adapter or converter may cause unexpected issues on Intel devices.

Everytime the drive missing, I did found out that it's the M.2 2242 slot (not the SATA converter one).

TNTGLV57

2. What is the Windows version and build?

3. What is the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST)?

I tried using both 18.1.1.1033 in nuc11tnhv7 download page and latest 18.1.6.1039 in RST page

4. Have you tried to allocate the disk at the disk manager (right-click on **bleep**)?

I did try using the intel RST tool to form RAID

and also tried to perform the RAID setting in Windows Storage Space

both of the above methods makes one of the SSD missing within 1 day.  (but the bios show both SSDs, and the OS level missing and I did tested, it should be the M.2 2242 slot, not the SATA one)

at last, I am trying to perform the RAID with using windows disk manager, it's been running a couple of days and seems it has no problem.

Also, bear in mind that using an adapter or converter may cause unexpected issues on Intel devices.

As mention above, the missing SSD should be the M.2 2242 slot, not the SATA converter one.

Hello BigJ, 

Before we continue further, I would like to confirm the following:

1. The BIOS version provided is not clear, is your BIOS version 0057?

2. Does the issue persist after trying with the Windows disk manager?

1. The BIOS version provided is not clear, is your BIOS version 0057?

Yes 0057, should end the latest version of firmware



2. Does the issue persist after trying with the Windows disk manager?
No, they are working fine if set the RAID from disk manager, only not working in intel RST and storage manager

Hello BigJ, 

In order to investigate further, please provide the following:

- Run the Intel® System Support Utility (Intel® SSU) to gather more details about the system.  

· Download the Intel® SSU and save the application on your computer: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/18377/25293/intel-system-support-utility-for-windows.html 

· Open the application, check the "Everything" checkbox, and click "Scan" to see the system and device information. The Intel® SSU defaults to the "Summary View" on the output screen following the scan. Click the menu where it says "Summary" to change to "Detailed View".  

· To save your scan, click Next and click Save.

here you go.  please have a look, i believe that it should be the BIOS or driver issue.  I did check that the hardware got no problem (at least, forming RAID in disk management is okay for running nearly a week)

Hello there, the problem comes up again with using the latest bios 0069, please help

[BigJ]

after a couple of days test, i think the problem is solved.  thank you for your help.

I believe this post need to re-open again!!  After I upgrade the BIOS to the latest TNTGLV57.0062.EBU.exe version, the RAID gone, i format both of the disk to make them resume, after that, the disks cannot be found in Intel management software.  why is this happening again?!

i didn't install any other software but the BIOS.

[BigJ]

just found the solution, i formatted 2 disks 1 by 1 (means lost everything), then because of the settings in BIOS reset, so I need to set it again, the VMD and map, etc etc.
