Firmware-based RAID systems by Intel (RST) and AMD (RAIDXpert2) present unique challenges in digital forensics due to proprietary metadata structures, BIOS-level configurations, and limited support in standard forensic tools. A forensic approach involves non-invasive acquisition, reverse engineering of RAID metadata, reconstruction of virtual volumes, and integrity verification using cryptographic hashes. Investigators must carefully preserve evidence, emulate BIOS-level RAID configurations, and leverage tools that support firmware-level RAID parsing to ensure admissibility and accuracy in forensic analysis. As firmware RAID becomes more prevalent in consumer and enterprise systems, developing automated, tool-supported methods is essential for timely and reliable investigations.
