AMD RAID is _like_ Intel RAID, but has a number of differences. One is that it requires UEFI (without UEFI it does not boot, at least). It comes on/with AMD motherboards for Zen and Threadripper processors. It also only supports RAID 0/1/10, that is: no support for 5/50. Also, unlike Intel RAID, at least initially, the raw disks don't seem to show up. That's not entirely true: On some motherboards, NVME RAID is supported and the NVME "disks" show up, but the SATA disks do not. Obviously this is all in the service of mounting the dual-boot windows drive.
