Hi,

Everything you have done so far is correct.

It sounds to me as if the RAID0 is not formatted for Windows. In Computer Management > Disk Management, see if you can see the RAID disk. Post an image of what you see.

Regards,
Golden

You really sure you want to use RAID0 as a storage drive? If so I hope you have a really good backup plan in place for the 2 TB, as for if for any reason you lose a drive or the RAID fails you will lose everything on it.

yeah i do a lot of photoshop and some video editing which is why im looking for some inexpensive hard drive speed, but i have 2 external hard drives on to which i back up everything, so i have triple redundancy when it comes to back up. i just hope i can make this internal array work.

Good too hear.

Oh and you haven't assigned it a driver letter yet. Do that and it should then become visible in Explorer.
