Threadripper owners can now fire up their NVMe RAID arrays
Combining NVMe drives for enhanced throughput or redundancy on high-end desktop platforms has been a contentious issue. Intel promised NVMe RAID capability on its X299 platform, but the company restricts the option to boot from an array unless it's made of its own SSDs.

AMD's Threadripper platform has lacked NVMe RAID entirely, until now. The silicon underdogs from Santa Clara announced this morning that NVMe RAID modes 0, 1, and 10 are coming to the X399 platform as a complimentary upgrade through a BIOS update.
