I enjoy the thought of swapping my OS drive swiftly and smoothly. The idea of disconnecting the drive from the motherboard isn’t appealing to me. *shrugs* It’s better to keep the spare drive handy. Last time I returned drives a few weeks later, I ended up buying new ones again—definitely a lesson learned!
Oh, I'm definitely hanging onto the spare drive. It's an SN750. I've only still got the board in hopes that AMD announces a $225 R5 5600 or a sub-$350 R7 5700X at some point this month. If I haven't heard anything by 1/25 or so, I have to send it back to Amazon or lose the refund. And I know that if I send it back, they'll announce the 5600 the next day. If I don't, they'll just keep dropping overpriced X CPUs. Even if that board does go back, the extra NVMe stays with me.
It's worth noting several times, though a single test is fine. If you frequently update your BIOS and lose your RAID setup each time, it doesn’t necessarily mean you should stop updating unless you have no other choice.
Skip the BIOS RAID setup, opt for OS-level RAID or use a hardware RAID card. Updating the BIOS will turn off or erase the RAID configuration—this issue occurs across most consumer motherboards.
