raid

Hi, I have 2 NAS HDD`s that I ran on a buffalo linkstation in raid 1 that I retired as it started producing errors. However, I am unable to reformat the drive as it is not recognised in windows or linux. In both of the OS, the disk simply does not show up when plugged in via an external adapter...

So I have 20-something 2.5" SATA 500gb hard drives procured from various reclaimed PCs. Right now they're just collecting dust. I want to put them to use in some kind of home server/ NAS. What's an efficient (cheap) way to hook them up? For any ground-up build I would need to get a case...

Hey all! First of all, this is my first time posting here and also not native speaker, so please forgive me my mistakes and if I explained something incorrectly, let me know and I will edit it. So, this is my current setup: a MSI Z87M Gaming motherboard. It's an Intel platform and I have two...

I have two Western Digital Internal Hard Drives from an old Windows computer. They were configured as a RAID 0 pair using the built-in RAID capability of the motherboard. I seem to recall the built-in RAID controller being Intel, but it was quite a while ago and I could be mistaken. The...

I have suddenly lost the RAID 0 array on my system and had the RAID 1 marked as critical. These are two arrays spanning the same two hard drives. It appears that the second drive is no longer detected as part of the array. My hardware is an Asus Crosshair VI Hero, which has been running fine...

Win 10 64 and apps are on a SATA SSD, all data on two 8TB HDDs RAID-1 mirroring via Storage Space. I had used (and preferred) hardware RAID on previous Intel systems, but when I put this one together 6 months ago I wanted to keep things simple and went with AHCI SATA (CMS enabled, so not full...

Hi Guys, I've been using freeraidrecovery software on my personal broken NAS storage hard drive. I manage to get the correct raid configuration on the first scanning but due to forgeting to insert another extra 4tb drive i need to redo. On the second scanning, physicaldrive0 somehow broken...

I have a friends MSI Laptop that I fixed the other day. It had a corrupt Windows 10 when it came in from Amazon. I wiped the hard drive entirely and installed a completely new windows on the HDD(not the SSD). This laptop has a 15 GB M.2 SSD and a 1 TB hard drive. The computer was slower than...

Hello, I just want to verify that I am doing Maths correctly when it comes to RAID 10. I have 4 - 2.5 TB SSD hard drives I am looking to run in a hardware level RAID 10 that I believe should total 5 TB as seen by the OS. Is this correct? Thank you!

After a bit of finagling, I've managed to get Windows 10 installed on a hardware RAID 0 volume, striped across 2 SSDs. I'm running on an MSI A78M-E45 Mobo, I have a Large internal HDD for bulk storage, and an optical drive connected to two other SATA ports. I had to set the SATA controller to...

I currently have around 12TB of data (pictures) spread across several external drives and one drive being in Raid 1 and I'm trying to clean the mess I've made now. So I recently purchased two 24TB G-RAID drives because I wanted to simplify how I store my pictures with the added redundancy...

Hello. As you already saw, the problem is I cannot enable RAID on my SATA ports 3 and 4, they are locked to AHCI and I cannot change it, because they are marked as "external" in the BIOS. I have 4 Patriot Burst 240 GB SSDs that I want to put in RAID 0, but I can only change 2 of them to RAID...

Hi all, Just purchased a used QNAP TS-453BT3 for video editing and the original owner had installed two 256gb M.2 drives for caching. At the moment, I'm shopping for drives to populate the NAS and am wondering how much of a practical difference will exist between a drive that has 128mb vs 256mb...

--CONTEXT-- Greetings, everyone. So, over the past five weeks I've been dealing with a corrupted ssd after I unplugged the desktop from the power socket. I was getting impatient when the computer took longer than usual to boot up. Bad move, I know. I've been learning that the hard way. About...

Hello All, My first post here, I'm hoping to get a better understanding of an issue that I have been faced with. I had a 4x 4TB WD Red drive array running in RAID5 on a ASRock Rack C2750D4I mobo, unfortunately for me the board died and I now need to purchase a replacement, hoping that I can...
