Hi
Just created a RAID 0 array combining 3 Samsung 850 Evo sata SSDs: 1x1TB + 2x500GB=2TB. I created the volume in the BIOS setup and selected all three drives but the total storage for the RAID 0 array is only 1.35TB i.e. 650GB less than the total available storage capacity and it didn't allow me to increase it, although it recognized and included all three drives.
I'm running it on an MSI X99A SLI Plus MB with a i7-5820k and 2x16GB 3000mhz RAM, Windows 10 Pro. The 1TB and the first 500GB SSD drives are attached to the two SATA express slots, the third SSD drive to a normal SATA, but which is RAID enabled.
I thought maybe because the 5820k processor only has 28 PCI lanes the size of the RAID arrray is automatically imited in size? Any other ideas and is there another more efficient way to create a RAID that uses all available storage?
Thanks in advance.
