Windows 10: My raid 1 disapeared

Hello,


I recently built my new gaming pc and i bought two hdd drives and not knowing what to do with them someone told me I should try doing a raid 1.

I know it has its flaws and its strengths but I already know them.

So I went to control panel --> system --> Space/disk management don't have the exact name sorry to create my raid 1.

Everything goes smoothly until sometimes when i turn on my computer the raid 1 disapears.

What I mean by disapears is that the raid 1 disapears from my file explorers BUT my 2 hdd drives still appear in my disk manager but they go back to unalocated space once again not sure i'm french sorry meaning it's just like I have plugged them in for the first time.


Has it done that from anyone else here ?

If you could share solutions it would be great!


Cheers

Is it possible to easily setup Raid-1 on this system ?

Get the six core CPU's I listed, at 3.3Ghz per core they will more than handle any calculations you throw at them for years to come, and with matching RAM in tri channel you will have a very strong setup.


My only other suggestion is a full RAID card like the one I listed with SSD's (in RAID 1)for the OS and programs, and then a RAID 5 array for backup and any large files on the board with a offsite final backup

 

Fresh Win 10 Pro install and RAID 1

Thanks guys. I set up RAID in the BIOS following MSI settings in their manual. Then I loaded windows following the prompts. But I must have missed a step. And hence my questions after my install. So, I did as you suggested Samuria, and set it up in Windows. I would have preferred a MoBo hardware setup. But as long as I have RAID 1 I will be happy. Thanks, B.

Thank you so much.

Dell system I am buying as a back has Xeon E5645 2.2 GHz & 12 GB ECC RAM

They don't offer Xeon W3680 that you suggested

So would that be good enough ?

Thanks
