Windows 10: Raid boot drive.

I have 2 120gb ssds in my PC. They are from different brands. Is there a way I can somehow combine both of them into a raid that makes them operate as 1 drive, then make it my windows boot drive?

Can I use a RAID 1 drive array as my Windows boot drive?

I am not going to use hardware RAID. I want to use Windows Storage Spaces to create the RAID 1 array from two identical hard drives.

Do I install Windows on the first hard drive then create the RAID array using Storage Spaces?

When I create the RAID array will Windows automatically mirror the Windows installation including the boot partition to the second drive so the RAID array is bootable?

Are their any steps unique to this setup that I must follow when installing Windows or creating the RAID array so that the RAID array will be bootable?

 

Raid 0 help

Hi all, I've followed the IRST raid installation directions and I have created myself a Raid 0 volume. Rapid storage confirms my successful migration from a system disc to a raid 0 array. I'm also able to select it as my boot device in BIOS, but what I don't understand is why it is not listed in my Drives under my computer

In fact, my computer still lists my original C: drive with the original capacity. I feel as if I've miss an important step here and I'm unsure how to proceed.

 

RAID SATA default in my system, change to ACHI for new SSD Boot drive?


These steps can be used in windows 10 to go back and forth from raid mode to achi, or achi to raid, mode depending upon what you need...

• If currently installed, uninstall your RAID or AHCI SATA driver (for intel, intel rapid storage technology)
• Basically open msconfig -> boot tab -> check safe boot -> restart
• Go into UEFI/BIOS and set SATA mode to which ever one you want
• Boot up into windows safe mode
• Open msconfig again -> under the main menu tab (general) click the normal startup circle - > restart
• Your system should boot into windows fine and you can install your AHCI or RAID driver.
