Cannot Create RAID 5 Array

[RTros]

I have four 500GB SSDs that I want to combine using RAID 5, but the only options available in the RST interface are RAID 0, RAID 1, and Recovery. I've tried using several different driver versions, and I've tried using the BIOS configuration (both the UEFI version and the ROM version), all with the same options. From what I can tell, my system should be compatible with RAID 5, but the option isn't showing up. Any help would be appreciated. The RAID system report is below.

Hello RMT,

Thank you for your response. According to ark.intel.com, Intel® 100 Series Chipsets support RAID 5. Please refer to the following link below. https://ark.intel.com/compare/98085,98083,90584,90583In this case, this is most likely a limitation issue. In other words, your system manufacturer did not enable this feature. My recommendation is that you can check whether this feature is available for your system first. Wanner G.

Hello RMT,

Were you able to check with your system manufacturer if RAID 5 is supported by your system?Wanner G.

After checking the information from my system's manufacturer, I discovered that the SATA ports are limited to RAID 0/1, and not RAID 5. I ended up settling for RAID 0.
