Hi there,
I currently have a system with ASUS Z87 Pro mobo and have my Win 10 installation on an SSD, connected to the Intel controller. I also have a few storage HDDs on the same controller. I also have an optical drive.
Here's what I'd like to do:
- Keep my Win 10 installation on the SSD.
- Add 2 identical 2TB drives and 2 identical 5TB drives and have the identical drives mirror each other in RAID 1 configurations.
My question is, is that possible at all? I understand I can only enable RAID on the Intel controller. I could move the SSD and the optical drive to the ASMedia controller, but would I be able to have two RAID 1 sets on the Intel controller? I.e. end up with 7 TB storage mirrored to the equivalent identical HDDs, for maximum security.
I'm not keen on reinstalling the Windows 10 system, but I can do it if there's no other way.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
