Windows 10: Setup RAID 1 between 2 SSD on Windows 10 Home

One of my coworkers asked me to install a new server that we will use at our work place, asking me to setup a RAID 1 between 2 brand new SSD.

I started my research, setuping the Bios to manage the RAID mod, making sure the 2 SSD are the same and usable for a RAID 1, but when I'm in the partition center, right clicking on one of my SSD there is no option to create a mirror 1, they don't have anything stored in them and they're is no partition inside them, they're full clean.

Is it because Windows 10 Home don't have the option to create a RAID 1 or is it because I'm dumb ? (It's a 50/50 chance at this point)

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

 

Need specifics on RAID 10

step 1) purchase a raid card that does raid 10 and has 4x mini sas. you will want at least 1024 ram on that chip.
step 2) purchase 16 2 TB enterprise class constellation drives
step 3) purchase another whole rig to do the same thing
step 4) setup rsync to copy all of the changed data from server 1 to server 2
step 5) buy 2 800 watt BBU (1 for each)

there.

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
