This is a question that has been pulling my hair out since the beta and MS has not provided any reasons on why Windows 7 does not support software Raid Can someone in Microsoft comment? I have the Linux choice. Is that what MS want us to use? I could give it a try Sunday, January 17, PM.

I know I used it before in 7, but maybe it was Pro, it's been a long time ago. Go Into Disk Manager, scroll down and in the bottom pane, click Disk 0 or Disk 1 and right click on one of the drives on the far left box, does it say "New Raid-5 Volume" possibly grayed out? It's greyed-out, and stays grayed-out.
Win7 and server 08 have the same gui and menus, but the actual volume manger is different. That's why there is the grayed-out option. Blue Fox [H]F Junkie. Joined Jun 9, Messages 11, Windows 7 does not support creating software RAID 5 arrays. You may be able to work around this by creating a RAID5 array under Windows Server and then transfering the disks to your Windows 7 machine. B00nie said:. It's exactly the opposite.
Software raid is your worst option. Get a real RAID card with it's own chip and you can transfer it from computer to another with no problem. A software raid requires drivers and is installation dependent where a hardware raid is totally transparent to the OS, it's just another drive. Are you sure? Software RAID 5 in win7 pro? Blue Fox said:. No, this is completely wrong. It is far more flexible than being restricted to a specific brand of RAID card. If you create a software RAID array under Windows, it will be recognized by just about any other Windows installation.
This is also no different on other operating systems eg mdadm under Linux. KarsusTG 2[H]4U. Joined Aug 27, Messages 3, I am pretty sure windows 7 just flatly does not support software raid5.
