MSI Announces Optane Genie Software for 200 Series Motherboards

With Intel launching its new Optane memory technology boosting HDD and SSD performance, MSI introduces a new feature to support its speed enhancing capabilities to the maximum. Optane Genie is an easy and smart installation tool found in the latest BIOS, which enables the use of Optane memory with just 1-click, while normally users would have to go through several challenging steps to successfully configure and enable Optane memory boosting. Just click Optane Genie and follow the instructions to finish the easy setup, making Optane easy to use for anyone. All MSI 200 series motherboards already support Intel Optane Memory but we strongly recommend updating to the latest version for the best performance regarding Optane and inclusion of the new and exclusive MSI Optane Genie feature.





Intel Optane Memory Technology is a brand-new type of memory, combining 3D XPoint memory media, Intel Memory and Storage Controllers to boost Hard Disk Drive performance significantly up to SSD speeds. Formed as an M.2 module available in 16GB and 32GB, Optane Memory provides an unparalleled combination of high throughput, low latency and high endurance.

MSI was world's first brand to introduce M.2 Shield (patent pending) to ensure maximum M.2 device performance. With the introduction of Intel Optane Memory, M.2 Shield is a perfect tool to enhance its boosting capabilities. M.2 Shield is a thermal solution, which keeps the M.2 or Optane device safe and cool to prevent damage and thermal throttling. Similar to Optane Genie, M.2 Genie makes setting up RAID easy by taking less steps, using any M.2 or PCI-E SSD (even when used in a mixed configuration). Enjoy a blazing fast system boot up and insanely quick loading of applications and games with MSI motherboards.

Before experiencing unmatched transfer speed using Intel Optane Memory and convenience of Optane Genie, make sure your compatible MSI 200 series motherboards has been updated to the latest BIOS version.

2 RAID Arrays on Z390 chipset (M.2x4 and SATA)

This is possible. I have successfully built a Z390 based machine with both an M.2 RAID 1 array (boot) and SATA RAID 0 array (D disk), all running off of the Z390 chipset Intel controller. Creating the RAID arrays is standard, and not significantly different than with just SATA disks. The primary difference being that the M.2 disks must have "RST PCIe Storage Remapping" Enabled.

This system is configured as such:

• i9 9900k
  
• ASRock Z390 Taichi Ultimate
  
• 2x 1TB Samsung 970 EVO M.2 SSDs (RAID 1 + Boot)
  
• 2x 1TB WD Blue SSDs (RAID 0)
  

 

2 RAID Arrays on Z390 chipset (M.2x4 and SATA)

I need to know if this is possible. To have two RAID arrays on a z390 platform. The first being a boot drive composed of two M.2x4 pcie SSDs in RAID 1 and the other being composed of two SATA III SSDs in RAID 0.

The ASRock Z390 Taichi Ultimate appears like it might support this since two of the M.2 ports are pcie style, and if both are used it still leaves two open SATA III ports on the Intel controller.

1. If the M.2 pcie disks are configured in RAID, can I use these two extra SATA III ports for another RAID array?
   
2. If question one is possible, can I use the M.2 array as my boot drive?
