4x 3Tb RAID 5 with Intel RST Z77 chipset?
Hi,
i´d make RAID 5 with 4x 3Tb WD NAS on Intel RST and W764bits installed already on SSD.
How is the easier way? This is my way until now:
- I´ve changed iastorV win7 registry value 3 >> 0, because OS was already install on SSD SATA mode
- BIOS set RAID mode on SATA Controller Z77 intel chipset (plugged SSD+4 WD NAS 3Tb)
- I´ve set up Raid 5 volume with Ctrl+I on BIOS RAID Z77 Chipset, all ok until now.
- Boot Windows7 and intialize RAID volume on Intel RST GUI (almost 3 days)
- But i see on Discs Manager W7 one volume with 9Tb (8,2TB) and another volumen!! with rest of full disk capacity pool (2,7TB)
Is this ok? is don´t supossed Disk manager w7 only must see one RAID5 volume?
Thanks a lot!!
