      @stephenw10 we tried this and it works with 2.6.0 but not in 2.7.2...installation was success but removing either of the disk and booting with either just one of them failed.
      SSD was intel SSD D3-S4510 series 240GB

        Is it booting uefi? You could be hitting this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15083

        Though I'd expect it to still boot wit the just the first disk present if so.

            Hmm, the 2nd shot there is with the primary drive I assume?

                Ah probably need to see exactly how it's failing in each situation then. But since you are booting EFI t probably will need the manual workaround listed in that bug.

                    Yup so it can't mount the efi partition on the secondary. Try running the workaround shown on the bug report to populate it.

                      @stephenw10 does this mean disabling the EFI boot in bios should sove this issue as well?

                        Yes if you boot legacy that does not hit that bug.
