Raid 1 problems
I have to two 2gb drives in a software Raid 1 configuration. Disk
Management is currently showing them as 'Failed Redundance'. I have tried a couple of different times to reactivate the Raid, but no change. I am assuming one of the drives has a problem, but how do I determine which one? When I use Specy or HWInfo to look at the SMART data both look fine. What should be my next step? I do have a new 2gb drive available. Should I add it to the Raid then drop one of the two original drives and see what happens? |

The Intel utility will let you know who done it and will assist you in a rebuild. Are you using Windows RAID? SMART is a nice feature, but does not always tell you what is wrong with a drive. -T |

I am not prepared to spend the money to set up a hardware RAID environment, especially since if part of it fails I would be SOL until it was replaced, and running the risk of the hardware not being compatable with future operating systems. |

What chipset are you using? I am assuming you mean for a cpu. I am running an AMD A10-5800K. I know, OLD! But it does what I want, and I'm not in a position to buy a new cpu, motherboard, and memory right now. |

You do not have RST raid on your motherboard as that only works on Intel based motherboards. Anyway, I have never done classic Windows raid. You may wish to search (bar) for ‘Manage Storage Spaces’ and see if anything useful pops up. -T |
