That's a good question, I would think so though, using DISKPART after we create the pool, then create the partitions after. I think I'll test this and get back to you.
To access Disk Management in Windows, you can follow these steps: Right-Click on the Start Menu: Right-click on the Start button in the bottom-left corner of your screen. Select "Disk Management": In the context menu that appears, select "Disk Management." This will open the Disk Management utility.
This is not a RAID, to make a RAID0 config, in disk management right click the first drive you want to and select create new striped volume. Then add the subsequent drives and follow the steps in the wizard.
Thanks for the video, but here are some tips: Don't talk about stuff unrelatred to the topic write down a script what you wanna talk about and use fullscreen! Regards
Lots of great info with a small correction. 🙂What you're calling a RAID drive isn't exactly a RAID drive. You combined multiple drives into one larger one, which is a good thing, but they're not configured as RAID. I can tell because a "striped" RAID 0 shows up in Disk Management with a green bar rather than blue. It also takes more time to format the drives as RAID 0. If you want to change it, delete those same drives. Once done (they'll go back to a black bar) you can right click on one of the drives and select "new striped drive." From there you can add the rest of those drives and you'll have a nice big drive that's much faster than what you have now.
AFAIK RAID 10 (0/1, 1/0, or whatever) is what Windows 11 calls a 2-way Mirror. Whilst we’re on the subject, please do NOT use parity in a software raid setup, especially RAID5. (IMO no-one should ever use parity RAID, whether software or hardware.) Here are some reasons: Performance - in standard parity RAID, reads and writes cannot be parallelised. This hurts performance in two ways: greater processor load to calculate the parity offsets; and multiple seeks to collect the selected blocks. Manageability - Mirrors are much easier to manage in terms of identifying and replacing faulty drives, and it’s much easier to rebuild the array. Safety - In a 4 drive setup, RAID 10 gives N2 (2 disks can fail), whilst RAID5 gives only N1 (and if it happens to be the parity disk, then you’re screwed). In addition, RAID5 is prone to cascade failure, even with a healthy parity disk. RAID 6 gives N2, but then you don’t get any performance benefit. Parity can also hurt SSD arrays due. To increased wear on the parity drives. There is a case for using some type of UNRAID (ZFS, BTRFS, or whatever) instead, as it is more flexible (at the cost of increased management complexity). I believe Windows storage spaces supports a similar scheme, but don’t quote me on that. Apologies for the length of the reply.

Redundant Array of Independent Disks. He's using software redundancy through Windows, which can also be done by Intel Rapid Storage now (Also controls hardware in UEFI). Maybe you're thinking of SCSI or SAS which is just referring to the hardware controller.
Thank you brother, I am looking to install two WD Red in my PC and set them in RAID.
You should be good, won’t be a problem getting the same results
Thank you for your help with this topic
Glad it was helpful!
Great video!!!
I had 2 SSD's 1TB ssd, Now it turned into 1.9TB, Thanks ! With no raid protection. Why do we need this ?
-- Joking, I know why but i dont care :)
Thanks for the video. Is it possible to create partitions within the RAID volume?
That's a good question, I would think so though, using DISKPART after we create the pool, then create the partitions after. I think I'll test this and get back to you.
@@techvybes I tried exactly that and it worked. Thanks for the video
Would you lose the data if you installed a new OS?
If the OS is on a separate drive, then the files are safe. This is a great way to ensure that your data stays put.
good info ...and windows key plus x key ...
You got it - use Win + X for quick access to your settings.
what happens if you take those hard drives an plug into another pc, will it still read the raid drives?
what about the speed of that volume? is it faster?
Windows button and x didn't work. Can't find disk manager

How do you identify which drive failed and replace it
Check the event logs. The events with ID 11 will specify which port the device that is having issues is on
OMG ITS EDP

No raid 10 ?

This is not raid.
It isn’t? There is software raid and hardware raid. This is software
It’s conceptually similar, but isn’t RAID.

I think y’all misunderstand. It’s more than just raid.
