Hi, I posted a question on a RAID 5 setup a few days ago. I'm not sure if I should start a new thread for a question about RAID 10. If I wasn't suppose to I apologize in advance.
I have two WDC 4TB Black hard drives in a RAID 1. I got a good deal on 2 more drives of the same type. I would like to create a RAID 10 setup. I have a Gigabyte Gaming GT Z97 motherboard that has a Intel Raid Controller that supports RAID 0/1/5/10. Is it possible to break a RAID 10 to non raid volumes if needed? If not, should I use Windows Disk Manager to create a software RAID?
Also, would it make sense to purchase a separate PCIe RAID controller? These drives will not have the OS on it. Thanks for any info.
