raid 0 on W7
I have a new PC build. 10X Blu-Ray BD-R Writer SATA Drive (Black) Caviar Black 1TB 7200RPM 3.5" SATA 6.0Gbps w/ 64MB Cache (x2) set as raid 0 Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz AM3 w/ Fan M4A89GTD-Pro/USB3 AM3 DDR3 SATA6.0 IDE ATI-HD4290 V/A/L DVi/HDMi i1394 ATX Radeon HD 5970 2GB PCIEx16 sony bravia kdl 32ex600 Corsair XMS3 Dominator TR3X6G1600C8D The HD's are set up as raid 0 in bios. When I look at properties / drivers in Admin Tools they register as RAid 0 drivers. In Disk manager they show up as 1 drive ( not Raid 0 ), dynamic and a performance rateing of 5.6. Do I have to re-install the OS again to get a striped set. Cheers Willbesoon

The disadvantage of RAID 1 is that unlike striping, a mirrored array can use only half of its total free space for storage, since one disk is an exact duplicate of the other. So what size does your RAID show......if it shows total size just under 2 TB you have RAID 0 If it only shows slightly under 1TB you have RAID 1 With RAID 0 the 2 drives are combined into one unit and show as only one but with the size of 2 With RAID 1 you only see and use the one drive since the other is a Mirror of the first and as such you see only the size of the one peter If you find a posting or message from me offensive,inappropriate or disruptive,please ignore it. If you dont know how to ignore a posting complain to me and I will be only too happy to demonstrate :-) "Willbesoon" wrote in message news:fa0e968d-1e25-44f8-a5de-3ed7d36fc2aa...

If you have two physical drives of 1 TB each, showing as a single drive of 1.8 TB, then it IS RAID 0Ron
