Summary: This article will discuss how to get M2 Solid State Drives (SSD) to be seen in the Intel Rapid Storage Software.
Previous versions of the Intel Rapid Storage (IRST) driver could not support RAID with hard drives attached to M2 PCIe ports and standard SATA connections. The drive in the M2 port would not be seen by the controller to configure a RAID array in the BIOS or Operating System (OS), but the disk would be seen in the OS.
The IRST driver version 14+ resolves this issue.
