HyperX Predator PCIe M.2 SSD Bootable RAID 0 Performance @ Legit Reviews

I have to admit this is pretty cool especially considering how difficult it can be to get a M.2 drive to run on certain motherboards. 

According to the article there was a dual set of firmware updates released to enable RAID support both on the motherboard and in the drive.  Before that your only option was a software style RAID.

When the Intel Z170 chipset was released, one of the features we were looking forward to was the option to enable a bootable RAID utilizing M.2 drives.  Kingston provided us a couple of their HyperX Predator M.2 PCIe 240GB drives to test this feature. Since the release of the Z170 chipset, Kingston has been working on updating the firmware again to enable the bootable RAID capabilities of the Intel Z170 chipset.   Without any major announcements, Kingston quietly released the OC34L5TP firmware update to enable bootable RAID on the HyperX Predator PCIe M.2 drives when used in conjunction with an Intel Z170 chipset powered motherboard.

OMG Mega Buzz/Key words in that quote. wink smile
