    Do I have RAID or Not ??


    Hi Guys,

    I have 2 x 1TB SATA Samsung F3's, Ive set them up in the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Configuration Utlility at Boot as a RAID 0 Array but when I look in my Intel Disk Configuration Manager in Windows it says they are Basic Disks, dont they have to be Dynamic disks to be RAID 0 ?

    Dynamic partition are only present when one partition spans several volumes - or if you go beyond 4 primary partitions on one volume.
