Good Evening, All.

I want to set up a Raid 1 for my OS&Pgms SSD's.

I have found online tutorials to do so....but...they all seem to change the drives to dynamic.

What is the downside to converting to dynamic drives in this configuration?

Please advise and TIA,

Larry

and why do you want raid 1?
Because I have had TWO hardware failures of my OS&Pgms SSD in the last 6 months. (One due to a leaking AIO and one due to a failing PSU) My contract work is time crucial and it cost me money both times....despite a rigorous back-up regime.

I am well aware I am only protecting against hardware failures, not virii or malware or stupid user deletions.....but it is hardware failures I want protection against.
