Help Creating Raid-5

Thread needs solution

This is the only Acronis product I have loaded. This was the one I wanted to try.
My old System was aging fast and then the Hard Drive went out so I built new.

Just built this system over the last (6) months. 
Cool Master Midtower, 32Gig RAM, MSI X570-A PRO Motherboard, Ryzen 5 3600 Chipset, 600 Watt Power Supply,   (5)  1Tb Seagate Drives, (1)   Slaved Drive, (1) Exterior Backup Drive, (4) Large Cooling Fans, Add-on Internal (4) port 3.0 USB Card, (1) Samsung DVD Reader/Burner, Fasmodel - Card Adapter PCI-E4 to MSATA SSD & SATA3.0 Combo PCI Express 6Gbps ASM1061, fosa PC Front Panel Internal Card Reader, Media Multi-Function Dashboard USB 3.0 Port Support M2 SD MS XD CF TF Card for Computer, 

Hello, 

I'm new to the Forum so if this is wrong please forgive me and tell me how I correct the error I have made. The issue I am having is:

I'm trying to setup a Raid-5 with my Drives. I have my C-Drive + (4) New Fresh Drives. They are all 1Tb Seagate Drives. My Motherboard has connections for (3) of the new drives + the C-Drive. I have tried using Windows 10 Drive Manager and I only see (2) of the new drives. I have installed an internal Raid Card that will accept all (4) of the new drives but I only see (2) of the new drives + C-Drive, I downloaded Your Acronis Disk Director 12.5 Trial and I still only see (2) of the new drives.

I am hopeful someone can help me so I can get these drives setup into a Raid-5 where if I loose (1) of the drives I just replace the bad drive with a new drive and the other drives will rebuild the new drive. I really hope someone can get me going on this. I have tried about everything I know and still nothing. Looking forward to you responses.

Thank You!

Chuck

The Ryzen chipset does NOT support RAID 5. You can setup something similar to Raid 5 if you use Windows 10 (see hear for and explanation). Most PCIe RAID cards do not support RAID 5

Not sure why you are not seeing all of the internal HDD; could be a connection issue (power or SATA to the individual HDD). Also, check the jumpers on the PCIe SATA card, two of the ports may be disabled, or it could be that by default it creates two RAID 0 arrays. It just occurs to me that the card may have a management program that assists in configuring the drives (assuming that the card has hardware support for RAID). We need more information on the card.
