    Software RAID 5 Support Window 7 X64 Pro


    Does Windows 7 x64 Pro support RAID 5 in disk management? It shows up as an option but it always grayed out.

    I have (4) 500GB drives and would really like to use RAID 5 on the 3 that aren't boot drives without all of the BS of using my MoBo controllers and finding the right drivers.

    According to Technet forums, it doesn't look like Windows supports this at the software level
    Raid 5 in Windows 7 Professional?

    I saw that article, but I was hoping since it was posted in July that it might have changed...Oh well

    This is still not supported. You can check with the compatibility center for other disk management options: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/com...s/default.aspx.
