Hello, @Michael29.

Thank you for contacting the Intel Community Support.

We received your inquiry regarding Intel® VROC, I will be glad to assist you.

Please allow me to investigate and I will contact you back as soon as possible.

Would you mind providing me with the model of your system/motherboard?

The chart below is the information currently available, but I will need to verify if this is platform or version dependent and, if that is the case, the best option would be to contact the manufacturer of the platform where you are going to use it just to confirm.

I will get back to you soon.

Best regards,

Hello, @Michael29.

Good day and thank you very much for waiting.

What operating system are you planning on using?

For Windows, the possible options to do this are described in the chart provided in my previous post, and for the Linux version, it's possible to convert from RAID 0 to RAID 10, but not possible from RAID 1 to RAID 10. However, this is done via the mdadm application. More information is available in the user guide:

If you have any other questions or I can assist you with anything else, please let me know.
