That is not raid one. Go research what raid is before asking questions like this.

I highly suggest avoiding raid based on your experience level...

would you mind helping me? Why would you even bother telling me to basically screw off. This forum inst just for tech experts, its for everyone to learn and thats all i was asking for. Theres no need to be trashing on me just becasue i asked a question

if it is true RAID, and not software RAID, it will show up as a single drive in windows.

Get off this forum and take your bullshit with you. Answer his question, link him to Linus's video on raid arrays, but DON'T be a dick.

i set it all up in the UEFI

I'm not sure why he chose to assume that you didn't now what RAID level you're working in...

 

I mean, all you said was you were using 2 2TB HDDs

 

With no other context, we can assume you could be in RAID 0 (4TB storage total working as 1 drive) or in RAID 1 (2TB of storage with mirror as 1 Drive).

 

So the guy called you out for not knowing what you're talking about when in reality HE didn't know what you were talking about. That's just rude.

IMHO there is no point using RAID for your use, just have your SSD and HDD seperate.

 

reset your UEFI and install windows to your SSD and use your HDD for storage, without doing anything to do with RAID.

 

if the HDD doesnt show up when you boot into windows from the SSD you should check in Drive Manager if it has been allocated a drive letter and has been set a partition.

Sorry I thought the '2' 2TB HDD was a typo. Especially when he didn't add a plural 's' to the end of HDD

Thanks for correcting my mistake by calling me a dick. Doesn't that make you one too?

RAID 0 uses 2 drives of the same size, and puts data on both of them, effectively nullifying the capacity of the second drive. 

 

 

 

•RAID 0 is used to boost a server's performance. It's also known as "disk striping." With RAID 0, data is written across multiple disks. This means the work that the computer is doing is handled by multiple disks rather than just one, increasing performance because multiple drives are reading and writing data, improving disk I/O. A minimum of two disks is required. Both software and hardware RAID support RAID 0, as do most controllers. The downside is that there is no fault tolerance. If one disk fails, then that affects the entire array and the chances for data loss or corruption increases.

Actually, RAID 0 uses 2 drives, puts data on both, and has capacity equal to the (Memory of smallest drive in array*number of drives in array), so two 2TB HDD in a RAID 0 configuration results in one 4TB logical drive comprised of two physical hard discs.

RAID 0 is vulnerable because there is no redundancy. If one drive in the array fails, all of them fail.

 

RAID 1 can use 2 drives just like RAID 0, but RAID 1 writes with redundancy. If one 2TB drive in a RAID1 were to fail, the second 2TB drive can keep working because it has an exact mirror of the first drive saved on it.

Of course this means that the capacity of a RAID 1 config with two drives is only equal to the capacity of the smallest drive in the array.

the title says raid 1 :P

windows is on my SDD and i just want to have an easy duplicate of everything i so why not said 1?

I'd say that with my current LTT track record I'm about 20% dick, so he's not wrong :P

Wat? Think you've confused raid0 and raid1.

Raid 0 is a stripped array that uses 2 identical drives and write half of the data on 1 drive and the other half of the data on the second drive. This provides no redundancy, actually increases risk, but increases write speeds while retaining all the storage capacity.

Raid 1 is a mirrored array that uses 1 drive to duplicate another, "effectively nullifying the capacity of the second drive."

and they are in raid 1 mirrored

if you want to help me with my question you can stay, if you want to trash on people there is a site for people like u called 4chan

Unfortunately he's following a fellow dick,

 

 

Based on your RAID knowledge level, I would say it's better if you do not run RAID for your system. If something happens to one of your drives, you will need to reinstall. You cannot restore half of a RAID0 that you were storing on a separate hard drive or something.

 

Ref: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/198249-ive-got-a-theoretical-problem-with-ssds-raid-0/#entry2688188

 

Luckily there's still some of us who help others on the forum, thanks for helping out.

 

Not even a flipping link to his RAID video's to inform, talk about lazy and lack of self promotion which he usually does, hope the rest of his LTT team see this.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.
