Volume incompatible (RAID1)

[mmich14]

Hi,

I have the following setup:

2x HDD in RAID1

1x SSD old

1x SSD new

Windows 10

Intel RST 16.0.2.1086

I have cloned my old SSD drive to the new SSD drive and booted to Windows 10 from the new SSD drive.

After booting RST complained about incompatible volume (the RAID1).

It says "Your volume is not compatible with the current system configuration..."

I thought it's because of cloning of the drives so I deleted the volume and created a new RAID1 volume by keeping data on one of the disks.

After the volume has been created and data copied, RST complains about incompatibility again.

Any ideas how to resolve the error?

Hello ceecko

Thank you for your response. I was reviewing the information on the reports you have provided me, I am noticing the Intel® RST version 16.0.2.1086 is not comparable with the chipset H170 (Information taken from the release notes of the driver version), I recommend to try with a different version of Intel® RST. You could try with the driver version form the motherboard manufacturer, or the version 15.9.0.1015 that is comparable with the chipset H170. Release notes driver version 16.0.2.1086 see hardware supported section. https://downloadmirror.intel.com/27681/eng/Release_Notes_16_0_2%20.pdf https://downloadmirror.intel.com/27681/eng/Release_Notes_16_0_2%20.pdf Intel® RST 15.9.0.1015. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27400/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-User-Interface-and-Driver https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27400/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-User-Interface-and-Driver Intel® RST version provided from MSI* refer to driver> select your version of Operating system> On-Board SATA AHCI/RAID drivers. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/H170-GAMING-M3.html# down-driver&Win10%2064 https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/H170-GAMING-M3.html# down-driver&Win10%2064 Regards,Leonardo C.

I installed both versions (15.9 and 14.8) and none of them helped.

Attached are reports from both versions.

Hello ceecko

Thank you for your response. Did you rebuild the RAID with the version that you tested? If not I recommend trying that fist with the OEM version, before taking any action we always recommend to have a back up of the data. Regards,Leonardo C.

I have just rebuilt the RAID and still the same result

Hello ceecko

Here are the steps:

1. I turn off PC
2. Physically unplug one HDD
3. Turn on PC
4. I use the RAID utility before Windows boot to delete raid volume
5. I turn off PC
6. Plug HDD back in
7. Turn on PC
8. I use the RAID utility before Windows boot to remove the second HDD from RAID
9. I boot Windows
10. Open Intel RST
11. Create RAID1 by selecting both HDD
12. I select to keep data on HDD in port 0
13. I start rebuild of the RAID

Hello

Thank you for your response. Looking into the steps you are taking seems that the raid volume will end up degraded, in this case, you can try the following steps to rebuild the RAID:

1. Turn on the PC.
2. Access the raid utility set the both HDD as nonRAID.
3. Turn off the PC.
4. Turn of the PC to Windows.
5. Open Intel® RST.
6. Create RAID1 by selecting both HDD.
7. Select to keep data on HDD in port 0.
8. Start rebuild of the RAID.

As you have motioned that in your confirmation that you have a RAID 1 these steps should not affect your data, bear in mind that is it always a good practice to have a backup. Regards,Leonardo C.

I performed the steps you provided and still the same result.

Attached the log.

Hello ceecko

Thank you for your response. At this point given the entire test that has been performed seems that you may be facing a hardware problem with the chipset if this is the case I recommend to contact the system manufacturer MSI* for assistance with the problem. Regards,Leonardo C.
