A: Hello Tim, Thanks for getting in touch. We would like to inform you that we do not recommend using RIAD mode for our Crucial SSDs. Also ,IRST has some conflicts with Crucial Storage executive features. IRST most commonly conflicts with Crucial Storage Executive (CSE) functions, particularly Momentum Cache. Uninstalling IRST components may be required to operate Storage Executive, but in the event a RAID configuration or other optimization functions (such as Intel Optane support) are in use, simply removing these drivers can result in instability, loss of performance, or a system failing to boot. If you need any more information or support, please contact us back through the link below. https://www.crucial.com/support/contact - The Crucial Team

It's a SOLID... solid state drive.
Got this to beef up the storage on my Asus laptop I just bought. So far it's fast, has a ton of space for games and was super easy to install. Crucial is a quality brand for all things digital storage.
