Why Can't I Use Software RAID with FuzeDrive Client Versions?
FuzeDrive client versions contain a full AHCI chipset driver in order to be compliant with hibernate and other Microsoft Windows hibernate and crash dump requirements. This is in contrast with the Server based Virtual SSD/FuzeDrive software which is able to run on top of existing drivers, including RAID, SCSI and most other general Microsoft storport class drivers which do not require hibernate support.
The AHCI controller on the motherboard is what interfaces with the SATA devices (M.2 and regular SATA cabled devices).
The issue is that AMD's (and Intel's) software RAID implementations implement and require full control over the full AHCI stack also, so the FuzeDrive AHCI driver and RAID AHCI drivers cannot co-exist in the same system.
Where does this leave FuzeDrive and RAID? We are currently exploring ways to support AMD and other software RAID stacks and will update when we have more information.
