Does Win7 support SOFTWARE RAID-1 (dynamic disk mirror) Hi
Does the final RTM Windows 7 support SOFTWARE RAID-1 (dynamic disk mirroring)? I know it supports fake-raid and hardware raid but I want to use software raid because my disks are of different size. I don't want to try it myself since I would have to convert my disks to dynamic.
Windows Vista didn't support it. XP had it disabled but could be hacked. It was enabled in Windows server 2003 (and probably others).
thanks! | My System Specs |

yes it does. It wasn't long ago that I used it. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Too many to list. OS XP, Seven, 2008R2 CPU AMD, Intel, VIA Motherboard Various Memory Corsair, Kingston, etc. Graphics Card ATI, NVIDIA Monitor(s) Displays Samsung Keyboard qwerty Hard Drives Maxtor, Western Digital Internet Speed 22 Mb/s @ home, 1 Gb/s @ server Other Info All of my systems still run fastest on XP 32-bit for the most part. Win7 is fun to play with, but I still prefer XP for raw speed, security, and functionality. |

What exact version did you use? Ultimate? Pro? And you are sure that it was the RTM, not RC1 or beta? | My System Specs | | |

it works in RC and RTM Ultimate. I don't know if it works in Pro as I've not used that version.
but my guess is that it will probably work in the Pro version as well. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Too many to list.

Yes that's also what I think. If not they would have marketed it as a feature of Ultimate.
Thanks very much for your answer, I did look everywhere and didn't find any convincing answer before yours. | My System Specs | | |
