How do I prep/reformat 4 segate 3tb drives with data to make single raid 10. P9X79 Asus, win 8 using the four SATA 3Gb/sec (blue ports). Not using as boot drive. Also what is the optimum sector 4k?

I have set up 4 - four terabyte drives in Raid 10 on Win 8 64 (The raid controller says 3.6 Tb each which is fine.) This will give me approx 14.4 TB in Raid 10. However, I am confused over whether to change the basic drives to dynamic. I tried to mirror all of them in basic, but it would only do 2 at a time. Then I read your thread on doing a two step operation. Create the two in mirrored, then create the other two in mirrored. Now I would have to go back to the controller at start up and create a RAID 1? from the two new volumes? Any help would...
