Does anyone know which VROC KEY standard model for the R6E MB ???
I have seen several C600 models on eBay.

I have seen some comments in the forums about it enabling RAID0 BOOTABLE via Asus Hyper x16 M.2 card

You can get a few VROC keys. (Ie the dongle)
Vrocstandard is for RAId 0,1,10
Vroc premium is for RAID 5 and other specities.

Brighttail,
Thanks for reply....but....I don't know which dongle.

For example:

I saw 2 types of dongle.

68571

Which one will work?

I tried 1410 and it didn't work as expected. It can't even see it.

Thanks for the update. Im thinking there are no keys that can be bought that will work on this platform, the VROCSTANDMOD key description covers 100s of different keys and Im sure by design. You cant buy them, see if they work then return them.

Even ASUS propganda is conflicting. This marketing photo shows a 1653 in one shot then a 1709 in another.

Ive met all the above requirements except a key!

This is absurd holding up thousands in hardware over a $50 key that really costs like 50 cents to produce.

I'm not sure EITHER will work. https://ark.intel.com/products/128254/Intel-Virtual-RAID-on-CPU-Intel-VROC---Standard

It shows that there is actually a special RAID key for VROC. You can see them selling it here: https://ark.intel.com/products/128254/Intel-Virtual-RAID-on-CPU-Intel-VROC---Standard

Has anyone spotted a header for this key to physically plug into? I don't have my board yet so I can't look closely myself.

Yeah there is a place on the R6E to plug in to.
