ESXi does not see raid controller

ASRock B450M Pro4 motherboard
Installed ESXi 6.7 on SSD hard drive m.2 interface. I had to add the network driver to the image. It started, everything works.

The problem is the following, does not see the RAID 1 array.

Open Storage, new storage, not visible RAID 1 HDD. In BIOS, RAID 1 is installed successfully and is visible and working in BIOS.

What could be the problem? How can I add RAID 1 array 2Tb in storage?

The problem likely is the fact that you have a consumer-grade motherboard, which isn't supported, and so the storage controller that's on-board is also unsupported and without built-in drivers. The end result is:  It may not work in the first place.

Maybe there are other ways and solutions?

Maybe somewhere you can find a driver that will help determine the raid controller and array in esxi?

With the network card this happened.
