S1200SPL - Windows does not see RST partition

[JThom14]

I'm assembling a new server. New S1200SPL board. I have 4 2TB Western Digital drives. In any RAID configuration with RST, Windows 2016 Essentials does not see the RAID partitions at all. I tried all variations and tried all drivers I can find online. How can I get Windows to see the Disks so I can install the OS?

Thanks.

Hello jetcosys ,

Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise (Intel® RSTe) for Windows* 2016 is currently under development.

In this particular case you could try using https://ark.intel.com/products/60292/Intel-RAID-C600-Upgrade-Key-RKSATA8R5 Intel® RAID C600 Upgrade Key RKSATA8R5 which will allow you to build a RAID 5 array using the Intel Embedded Server RAID Technology 2 (ESRT2), which is a supported and tested solution.

Best regards,
