  1. Reinstalling RAID 1 using NVMe drive


    Hi, I had 2 Corsair Force Series MP600 2 TB, NVMe PCIe Gen 4 x4 M.2 SSD in RAID 1 when I ordered my computer from Origin PC. One of the drives was bad so I switched from RAID 1 to AHCI and sent the bad drive for replacement. I have the replacement drive installed now and I am reading that I have to reinstall Win 10 Pro in order to set up RAID 1 again. I have a backup using Acronis but I really don't want to reinstall Win 10. Please advise.

    :)

  2. proceed and is it going to work the RAID 1 After reinstall finishes??

    My PC is problematic -- ca not update OS -- and i decided reinstall Windows 10 Pro on C:/ nvme

    I have also 2x2TB HDD as one RAID 1 F:/ DISK for my data

    I already did backup of C:/ and F:/

    Since in this case the RAID 1 exist, in my PC, how should proceed and is it going to work the RAID 1 After reinstall finishes??

    How should proceed?

  3. Moving Windows 10 from RAID 1 to single drive install

    I had Windows 10 installed on a RAID 1 set of 2 SSD drives. I replaced those SSDs in the RAID 1 with an internal NVMe drive just 1 single one. I copied my Windows 10 Installation over to this NVMe drive. Now when my Windows 10 boots I get an error message
    saying its attempting to repair the volume however Windows 10 boots just fine. How do I get rid of that error message and configure Windows 10 to properly boot on this one single NVMe drive?

    How to image 2 hard drives with raid 1

    Hi there
    Not sure if this is the best way but should work.

    1) backup data to individual external drives (or whatever -- cloud services etc). For basic data - use ROBOCOPY ,XCOPY, or simply Windows / File explorer.
    2) install new HDD's
    3) Create your RAID array's for the new drives.
    4) restore data saved via step 1).

    If you have the Windows OS on a RAID device then that's beyond my knowledge - AFAIK Windows needs a hardware card with a driver to boot a RAID device. However the suggestion I've made will save / recover your DATA files.

    Cheers
