Is ASUS ROG STRIX X299-XE GAMING compatible with HighPoint NVMe controllers?
Compatibility Status: Yes (it can support Bootable or Data RAID configurations)
Compatibility Report: Link
Note: The compatibility reports we provide are based on research of the target platform / motherboard, using the manufacturer’s official specifications and product documentation.
Summary: The ASUS ROG STRIX X299-XE GAMING can support HighPoint SSD7000 and SSD6200 Series NVMe RAID controllers. SSD7500 series controllers can also be used with this platform, but will be unable to operate at full speed, as the system only provides PCIe 3.0 connectivity. It utilizes the Intel X299 series chipset; the X299 series chipsets are known to be compatible with HighPoint NVMe solutions. The motherboard’s BIOS includes UEFI support, and provides option ROM settings for UEFI and legacy devices meaning it can be used for bootable purposes.
Manufacturer Documentation:
1. PCIe Host Interface: PCIe 3.0 – the platform provides three PCIe 3.0 x16 slots. Lane assignment will depend on the CPU you are using. As this is specifically a motherboard, height requirements will depend of the case you are using.
2. Boot RAID Support (NVMe arrays used to boot a system): Boot configurations are supported (the motherboard BIOS provides option ROM support for UEFI devices.
3. Data RAID Support (NVMe arrays used for data storage): There are no apparent restrictions for data RAID configurations.
