raid Making striped volume in windows 10 out of virtual raid 0 arrays.

[Dymitr Nawrocki]

Ok, so i finally managed to persuade my junkyard IBM HS-1235E Server to work and i made a raid 0 array from two 250GB Hdd drives, then i discovered that using computer management in windows i can combine that raid 0 array with another drive i put in the server(80gb Seagate) so i made 580gb virtual drive by using "New spanned volume" option, and everything seems to work but i got an idea because you can also use "New striped volume" option which basically is making raid 0. So if you connect different size drives in raid 0 all of them count as if they would have capacity of the smallest one, but could i possibly make let's say Raid 0 using 2x500gb and then another Raid 0 using 4x250gb and then use both of this virtual drives in windows to make Striped volume which is basically Raid 0? In that way i would connect different capacity drives in Raid 0 without sacrificing any drive capacity, it would be possible because 2x500gb volume will have same capacity as 4x250gb so from windows perspective i would be connecting two equal volumes. What you guys think?

You can, but then you have 6 drives and any of them failing takes everything down.

Well that's how it is with Raid 0. I was just curious if i could mix different size drives without sacrificing any drive capacity in that way.
