AMD Raid SMART for Legacy HDD

droverflow_0-1636371314553.png

Hello,

I have built an AMD Raid with the B550 chipset. I need a failsafe for the Windows boot partition and therefore used a RAID 1 for the 2 SSDs. So far everything is good.
For the Raid1, the SMART tool "HDSentinel" also displays the SMART values. (Unfortunately it does not work with CrystalDiskInfo)

But for the two "Legacy-HDDs" no SMART value can be read out! Is there a way for this?

What is actually the correct configuration for the following scenario?
I want to protect the boot partition via RAID1, but all other hard disks do not need RAID functions. Is it correct to use these HDDs as LEGACY or would I have to make a JBOD out of it? Or is there a possibility that I don't need a RAID driver for this at all?

RAID-Driver-Version: 9.3.0-00266

Thank you

SMART information is not supported when using Raid. I am not aware of anyway to get the SMART data to show as no software at this time is able to read the data.

That's not correct. HDSentinel can read the SMART from RAID1 correctly

We don't expect it to work, but you can try that application.

I can confirm that HDSentinel is showing the SMART Data correctly, except for the NVMe RAID.

Do you plan to support this?

No, reading of smart data when using Raid is not supported.
