I just upgraded my PC and bought an extra HDD so I can create a RAID 1 array for my secondary storage in case of a drive failure.

My boot drive is a Kingston SSD. And the 2 HDD I want to RAID are a 3TB WD and a 3TB Seagate. My Mobo is an Asus Prime Z390-A, and my CPU is a Intel 9600k.

 

How do I set up the drives in Raid 1?

I tried using storage spaces in Windows, but it fails, and I get this pop up:

And after I do this, the drive becomes no longer visible in Disk management, until i delete the faulty storage pool it creates.,

 

In the BIOS, if I select EZ Tuning Wizard, it will enable RAID mode, but it says it may cause boot failure, and system

is not recoverable. (Note: I already have the data from the HDD already backed up, I'm, worried about losing the data on my SSD). Is there a safe way to create a raid 1 without affecting my other drives?

 

Thanks.

So you want to use storage spaces for raid, its much better than the motherboard raid.

 

Id try using storage spaces in power shell. What do you get when you run get-disk. You should have your drives with can pool = true.
