So my motherboard is ga z170x gaming 7, cpu intel core i7-7700k and i am on windows 7 home premium 64-bit ,i updated my drives and everything but i went to install my stuff and found out that i couldnt install more than my 250 GB or 224GB of my ssd drive size but i also got a 1TB HDD drive or 932GB. I tried to increase the volume to the max but it only came up to 447GB when it should be around 1.2TB size right?. Also the stuff i see are the images below.

IRST is sort of a RAID 0.
RAID 0 - 2x the size of the smallest.
It doesn't 'add' the two full sizes.


2 x 232GB = 464GB, close enough to 457GB.


The total capacity of a RAID-0 array is based upon the drive in the array with the smallest capacity. So if you RAID-0 a 64GB drive and a 1TB drive then your RAID array's total capacity (before formatting) will be 128GB (64 x 2).

2 times approximately 224GB is 247GB. That's right.
