Problems with making 2x3TB RAID0
Hello,
I hope it's good forum for my problem. I've just bought two new 3TB HDDs. Now I have 2x1,5 in RAID0, so I tried to make another RAID0 array with 2x3TB (to copy my data and sell old drives). Unfortunately, my motherboard Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3 (rev. 1401) doesn't support such big drives - in BIOS each drive is recognized as 801GB. I suppose that without hardware update I can only make software array. I tried to make it by diskpart, but I got an error: Selected disk is not dynamic disk. Set disk as dynamic and try again. So I tried convert it to dynamic but i got another error: Dynamic disks are not supported by this operating system or server configuration. Dynamic disks are not supported on clusters.
I can't find any solution in Google. Can you help me with this issue? I want to make stripped array and have one 6TB partition to keep my data.
My new drives are WD Green WD30EZRX and the System is Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.
Regards,
Paluch
