Is it normal for Resource Manager to not see RAID drives?
My Maximus 11 Extreme MoBo has slots for 2 x M.2 drives and a DIMM.2 riser card holds two more. All drives are Intel 660p Series M.2 2280, all are NVMe and share bandwidth on the PCI bus.
All drives were set up and formated using Windows 10 Disk Manager, Windows 10 is current, (v 1909, Build 18363.720). Disk 0 & 3 are 1 TB, drives C:\ & E:\ respectively. Drives 1 & 2 were formated as Raid 0 stripe, 2 TB, drive D:\.
The problem: Windows resource manager (Disk), does not show a D:\ drive, no less any activity on it.
I'm not even sure if this is a problem if Resource monitor filters out RAIDs. I sure would like to see the activity though!

you could test if it works with other drives - or this setup on another mobo
i fail to understand why windows accept making the disk dynamic - and then does not see it...

Kimputer - It's an ASUS mobo and nothing I've seen in the User Guide / BIOS talks to the chips on the DIMM.2 riser where the drive are that I want to RAID. I have a support ticket to ASUS support. Thanks for

It's not meant to be understood. It's probably a bug that's never been fixed. Sometimes it's really hard to understand MS.

Update: When a BIOS update became available, I downloaded and installed the new IRST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) drivers and was able to create the RAID in BIOS. But still no joy getting Windows' resource manager to see the stripe's activity. (Task Manager - Performance tab does see disk activity on the RAID, but what do the pimples mean?
As an aside, the new BIOS broke my hot-swap ability . . . until the last Windows 10 update: 2004 build 19041.388.

If you're not willing to change that, then you'll have to make do with Performance Monitor instead.
