RAID / IDE Function

So I have two 500gb ssds, one with my OS installed and one empty one. The ssd with my os is almost full and I want to install my empty one and set it up in raid 0. My mobo(MSI b450 gaming plus) supports raid and I was thinking of cloning my current windows 11 install onto an old backup drive I...

Hello everybody, Yesterday all of a sudden my Windows 10 computer had a grey screen and nothing worked. After I restarted the pc I got a boot notification "Raid Volumes : None defined" After that the windows loading screen appears followed by nothing, just a black screen and nothing happens...

My Spec: Motherboard- AMD B450 Plus Gaming 1x Samsung 860 EVO 1TB 2x Samsung 840 EVO 1TB Hi guys My question is: Whether it is possible to use a single drive 860 as my main drive and then use the two 840s in Raid 0 for my games and storage? When I...

I've been studying to take the CompTia A+ exam and my teacher said that building my own router would be a great way to familiarize myself with hardware and software that wasn't super common place, so I asked around my family if anybody had an old computer parts. Well, Thanksgiving comes around...

I changed my motherboard from a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite to an Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wifi) and suddenly Windows doesn't recognize my RAID 0 drives. The Windows Disk Management tool says the two drives failed or something. I tried to reactivate the volume but that doesn't do anything. Is...

Hello, After a failed overcloacking, my pc began showing black screen after i login on windows. I searched what is the problem but didnt find anything so i messed up with my bios.I changed the chipset mode from AHCI to RAID. After that, the black screen was gone but the pc didnt recognize my...

I’m currently planning a small long term data archive and I was wondering: are 2 hard drives in RAID 1 more reliable than 1 SSD? No one has really compared these 2 configurations that I could find, so I was wondering if any of y’all have any insight on this. Thanks!

Hi first post here, hope this is the right place to put it. When putting together my latest rig I made an oversight and my AIO cooler's radiator did not fit in it (its currently duct taped into the corner of the case 🤮). Its obviously not ideal for thermals so I will be looking into a new case...

Hi guys! I've recently cleaned up my home work area. I found a few hard drives and thought I'd try setting up a RAID. The HDD's are all WD Blues (1 4TB 5400rpm, 2 2TB 5400rpm, and 1 1TB 7200rpm (I do not remember where I got this one)). I've tested them and all are working. Data on them have...

I had 2 SSDs in a RAID0 and have disconnected them in order to install a new single non-RAID SSD, which is working fine. I wanted to format the old SSDs, so have connected one of them back up, but it is not shown in Windows so I cannot format it. It is shown in the BIOS though. Do I need to...

Hi, after some searches, I got this idea to either get an Aorus raid ssd 2tb or build one to upgrade my hard drive speed to max. Currently my motherboard is a Ausus x99 deluxe ii which is gen03 and I can't get those gen04 high speed m2s. But I stuck with some questions and would be rly...

Hi All, Bought and old enclosure on a whim off Ebay, and slightly regretting it now as I'm not sure it will do what I need. I was hoping to connect it to a regular desktop PC running a Linux server (OpenMediaVault?), or maybe FreeNAS. The enclosure seems to be a rebranded version of this...

Hello, I recently setup a raid 5 using a highpoint 2720 8 port controller with 7 WD red 4tb drives. I seem to have the drive working correctly in windows 10. I'm afraid to start transfering data to the array because it's not initilized?. I have never dealt with a raid 5 configuration before only...

Is there anyone that can recommend the best motherboard for a dual gpu/ultrawidescreen setup in conjunction with a raid 0 for 2 SSD's. I think futureproofing myself as much as possible with PCIe 4.0 and possibly wifi 6 integration would be nice. I am looking to budget around $200 or so for the...

Can I RAID 1 a computer, and not lose the OS by adding a controller card, hooking up the HD currently on the motherboard to the card, and then add another HD to mirror too, without losing existing OS and software?

The specs of my motherboard (Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master) say that I could reach the incredible sequential speeds: 3551MB/s (read) & 3063MB/s (write), if I install 3 NVMe M.2 PCIe SSDs and configure them as RAID_0. I’m not familiar with RAID types, by my understanding it means mixing more hard...

Hi guys, I'm planning to buy a laptop, and my budget is around 1000$ (can stretch it to 1200) and I really want the 970m and i tried searching laptops with 970m but to no avail (or i just suck at searching) you guys know any laptop that fits the criteria? if not, can you guys recommend a good...
