Raid 5 help
I searched and found a few topics close but nothing right on. I set up RAID on my mobo and proceeded in installing Windows7. Now when I first set up my RAID5 using four 500GB HDD's it showed I had 1500GB. Understandable because 5 takes away one drive in case of drive failure. Now after the driver install I come to the menu where I need to format my drives. It shows my RAID5 array as only having 1370GB. Why is that? Did I do something wrong? The OS is installed on an 50GB SSD (that for some reason is only showing 46.5GB) seperate from the RAID5 array. I'm missing almost 700GB of memory here. What's going on?
