set up raid 0

[davidgtrr34]

I have a 500gb ssd as my boot drive and i have 2 2tb hdd. I want to put the 2 hdd's in raid 0 but its not working.

I went into the bios and turned on raid and then set up the raid but my pc wont boot while the bios is set to raid and if i turn raid off again the raid doesnt work.
Can anyone tell me how to set it up.

Then run the Microsoft fix: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/922976 install the RAID driver, restart and set SATA to RAID.

if on windows 8 you can actually use storage spaces as a form of raid

and its actually really flexible

though not sure why you want raid 0

for data you should use raid 1 in case of a drive failure
