Need more info.
I have 2 x 280 GB 900P drives VROC raid 0. Rig in specs. Thats as far as I was willing to go. Had the the current 380GB M2 905P drives been around when I built this rig I would have put two of them on a HyperX 16 card at X8. Not giving up my SLI for it.

They will do raid zero without a key. They wont run non intel drives in VROC period regardless of what you do. 8180 Xeon boards can run non intel drives with a key that is crazy stupid $$, I bought a key in the beginning, matter of fact got several before they found out there was a market and now gouging. I got mine for $8.99 each, cheapest now is $126. If you ever decide you want more than raid 0 the key is VROCISSDMOD j55733-100 MM#956822, also info that was being withheld.

Its reduced due to the latency of raid but still WELL above anything that anyone else can touch. Im getting 5400MB/S sequential and 200MB/S on low que depth 4K where its 280MB/S as a single drive compared to Samsungs 50MB/S for a 960 or 970 Pro.
With larger drives you should be able to get better.
Yes its bootable. My VROC array is my c:\
Takes some trickery with drivers though. You are going to need iaVROC and iaStorE at the F6 prompt at install. One has to be loaded before the other but I cant recall which. you can get the F6 drivers from winraid or if you have a place I can upload or email them PM me.
If you search this area "VROC" Theres a lot to read where several of us went through it at product launch right before the Optane drives were released. We tried everything under the sun to get non intel drives to work, not happening then there was no key to be had listed anywhere and there still isnt which is why I listed it. I got very loud with ASUS over the key as they were going back and for with intel. Im sitting on a few extras now.
