Raid setup help

[Darkmatter35]

So in my systen I have a samsung 840 evo 250gb ssd and 2 WD green 2TB hard drives. I wanted to setup the hard drives in raid 1 so I went into the bios and set the sata mode to RAID mode. Then I entered the other interface with Ctrl + I and setup the raid array. Then whenever I tried to boot into windows it kept looping the boot without fully entering windows. I could only enter windows fully once I turned the sata configuration back to AHCI in the bois. When I entered windows the two drives showed up as one drive that was 2TB like I planned and the whole thing works fine. I have never seen in any tutorials to turn back the sata configuration once your setup the raid. Is what I have done Ok or have I missed something?

Some get boot loops, others get BSOD's.

 

Remove all the issues with a regedit, turning a 3 to a 0, and problem solvered.

I did this days ago doing my 840Pro Raid0 cloning.

But is what I have done good enough ?

Hello,
Yes, it seems to me that what you have done is good enough and your RAID looks properly set.
But I have to point out that the Green line is not designed to be used in RAID. The Desktop edition drives do not have the feature called TLER (Time Limited Error Recovery) and take longer to recover from errors, which may cause in drive being dropped from the RAID.

As for the turning back of the old configuration – I made a quick research and found a step-by-step guide with screenshots. The link is below. Just make sure you have everything backed up before proceeding.
May I ask why are you setting up a RAID configuration? If you are aiming for data backup, I advise to disable the RAID and try with an external drive, which will give you more data safety, plus you will have the whole capacity of your Green drives at your disposal.
