Raid in windows setup

[TechKnowCase]

Hello,

 

 

I'm trying to run a second machine in which I would like to run a RAID 0 on two HDDs for faster speed.

 

The problem, the mother board doesn't support raid* so i'm thinking maybe a way of using a software raid in windows.

 

I'm currently using a q6600, 4Gb of ram and a 760. I don't think using unraid is a great idea as I don't have a lot of juice to spare...

 

Anyways thanks a lot in advance!

 

* the mobo support raid, but only have one SATA port for the controller (P965 neo-f v2)

Will I be able to install windows on that array?

No. You'll have to set up RAID in the BIOS for that to work.

You can make an array inside windows however this can't be done on the boot drive.
