Amd threadripper will not support nvme raid at first

One of the highlights of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper platform is the large number of PCI Express lanes that far exceeds what is offered by Intel Skylake-X processors. This is especially important for users looking for high doses of full speed NVMe storage, although now we have discovered a little detail, Threadripper will not support NVMe RAID at first.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper lacks NVMe RAID support

AMD Ryzen Threadripper provides 64 PCI Express lanes compared to Skylake-X's 44 lanes, a very useful advantage for lovers of multi-GPU systems with a high number of NVMe SSDs. Despite this significant advantage, AMD's new HEDT platform has been found to lack NVMe RAID support. This has been confirmed in a recent report from Tom's Hardware although it is also mentioned that AMD is already working to fix this problem. Therefore, it can be assured that Threadripper will not be compatible with NVMe RAID at launch.

Best processors on the market (2017)

The current NVMe disks are very fast so RAID technology is not really necessary, a Samsung 960 Pro is capable of reaching read rates of 3, 500 MB / s, so there is more than enough speed for any type of use, despite Some users always want more, so they put two of these disks to work together to reach 5, 000 MB / s or even more.
