Asus prime board support raid controller

Help

Can a Asus Prime Z390-A Mobo support a Perc or LSI raid controller? I tried looking for it in the docs but it didn’t say anything. I’m moving my gaming computer into a 4u rackmount Chasis and was going to add a raid controller for 8 SAS drives. And then use 3 of the on board SATAs for some sata HDDs.

It should so long as the specific board has a 8x pcie slot. You can run into issues with oprom like some oem cards have. For example hp raid cards usually require hp motherboards. You can disable oprom usually on higher end boards and server boards.

So long as the card is a true LSI it should not be an issue.
