Windows 10: why do my mirror raid drives always exhibit re-synchronizing?

New install of windows 11 pro OEM. I set up 2 NVme 2 4Tb drives as mirrored raid in Bios, and , later in windows but windows just keeps re-synchronizing the drives. I have securely erased them in Bios, reset them in windows but no change. Why? Windows 11 seems to be less competent at configurin drives than previous version. I am seriously thinking of moving to Zorin Linux. Very hacked off.

RAID-3 on the cheap -- is it possible?

Hi again, Rob,

The disks comprising a RAID do not have to spin synchronously.

I don't want to create a RAID for performance reasons. I want data integrity.

The RAID will be video ... a home theater.

I don't want a mirror because a mirror is wasteful.

I want the RAID striped so that it can be repaired, hence, RAID-3 or -5.

I don't need the parity bits to be distributed with the data as in RAID-5... a dedicated parity drive will do, hence, RAID-3.

It occurred to me that the parity drive can be 1/2 the size of the 2 data drives. All it would take is a driver that does compression. Do you know of one?

 

Moving Software Mirrored Drives To New PC

If it's a software RAID then there shouldn't be any issues simply moving the drives over, even if it were a hardware RAID, a mirror RAID is pretty forgiving and shouldn't break. You can break the mirror as suggested by play2mefish it won't harm anything since the drives are identical data.

 

2 Mirrored Raid drives to one SSD drive

So I am not sure if this is possible then to clone a mirrored raid to a SSD drive ? I was thinking about doing an image backup and then restoring to a SSD but what about cloning a mirrored raid to a ssd. Would their be driver issues or ? Or even this, what about cloning each drive in the raid with exact copy ?
