Must be your custom bios then or your drives are secretly compatible, on 1.62 the drives don't even show up in windows.  I guess I can try the 1.6 non beta bios lol. - It doesn't work either lol, no drives show up in windows when set to VROC.

Does the VROC GUI in Windows show that VROC is in pass-thru mode? Even if bifurcation is not supported with VROC disabled, with VROC enabled and left unconfigured the drives may show up under the VMD controller.

Technically, VROC requires bifurcation to work so I don’t know why it’s not supported. You should get EVGA to look at it properly.

I only was able to find the driver itself (RSTe) where can I get the gui for it ?

For RST, install only the F6 drivers from Intel and get the Optane Memory and Storage Management application from the Microsoft Store. The old RST and Optane Memory applications have been combined into one.

For VROC, install only the VROC drivers from Intel and get the Virtual RAID on CPU application from the Microsoft Store.

If you create an array in the app without a VROC key, it will enter trial mode. Boot into a secondary OS to create the array with the app. Then VROC won’t expire on your primary OS.

Ah okay, I was mainly interested in using them as separate drives.  I downloaded the VROC 6.2 driver from the intel download site and used the F6 driver and now the drives show up individually after installing that.  This would be a lot easier if these brands just let us use bifurcation lol.

Sorry to bump and old post.So it sounds like the Asus Hyper 16X card will not work for a raid. but since intel opened  up X299 VROC for non-INTEL DRIVES. does that mean one can raid if the ssd are connected to the m.2 ports on the motherboard?

Intel opened up PCIE bifurcation. So what that means is that if you use a AIC like the HyperX16, all 4 drives will show up in windows. 
And you can do a Software Raid, which i saw a limit of about 7-8GB/s  with 4 Samsung 960 Pros of 512GB. and not bootable.

For real Vroc, it is still locked, and will only work when you use INTEL Drives ON X299 PLATFORM. It will not work with any other manufactures drive on the x299 platform. 

Your best bet is to buy a raid AIC like High Point SSD7103. Its x16 (4x4) and bootable Raid card.

well crap. that sucks,  Ive seem that High Point card, that's expensive but if it works looks like it might be the only way to get raid on x299. What A load of Bs , Now I know why people are going with amd.... oh well.  PCIE bifurcation being opened up isn't going to help dark 299 users, From what I understand the dark x299 doesn't support it anyway lol, I'm amusing  PCIE bifurcation not being a option on dark x299 wouldnt be a problem with the High Point card?

x299 dark does support pcie bifurcation/. Thats why i started this thread. Intel updated the micro code to open up the pcie 4x bifurcation. i did my testing on an x299 dark. 
And the reason why that particular Highpoint raid card works is because its has a raid controller. So your OS-bios will only see 1 drive or however you set it up. 

As for intel only supporting Intel drives, thats just how intel rolls. But it'll be a lot more stable than an AMD platform, especially if you start doing virtualization.

Really ? on this forum someone apparently said evga told them it didn't and it would have to be enabled in the bios and they couldn't  couldnt wright a new bios enabling it   lol. didnt make since to me when other x299 board could.

maybe you dug up an OLD post. but i can tell you that there is now an option in the PCIE settings menu where it says PCIE SSD or something like that. 
then all 4 drives will pop up in windows.
