[SOLVED] Raid0

[steinaroddsson]

I am trying to raid0 two of my ssd's one 250gb one 1tb .

I tried it earlier through the intel optane memory and storage managament app.

When i did the raid0 only 466 GB were available as the raid0 volumes storage capacity.

After making it i deleted the Raid0 volume and decided to try again

Only thing is now my 250 GB ssd is no longe showing on disk managament but is visible in device manager and BIOS.


So my question is how can i make the raid0 volume correctly so that i have more than 466gb available storage since one is 1TB and the other 250GB.


I can still make a new raid0 and my 250 GB ssd is still visible everywhere except disk management and is not recognized as a setup disk on my windows.


EDIT: If this is the correct storage capacity the raid0 will offer. Is there a way for me to then raid0 the available 466GB and somehow use the remaining 700GB?

Nothing's wrong at all. A gigabyte isn't 1000 megabytes, it's 1024 megabytes. People and companies are kind of sloppy about this, reporting a base 2 number as a base 10 number, but half a terabyte is not 500 gigabytes.

Here's my main rig right now. Those hard drives are 14, 10, 8, 5, 4, and 3 terabytes, and a 480 gigabyte drive.

The only real problem is that RAID 0 is just about worthless for the use case of >99% of consumers.

You don't raid SSD's at all. In theory it would be faster but in real word use it's not anything you would notice.

1. 250GB + 1TB + RAID 0 = 500GB RAID 0 array (actually 465GB). Twice the size of the smallest.
2. Outside of very specialized use cases, RAID 0 with SSDs is of NO use.
