Hi all, not sure if I am posting in the correct place, I have a NL40 Microserver which has 2 x 1TB RE4 drives in, the Microserver doesnt come with what they call "Full hardware RAID" its more a hybrid of SATA RAID Controllers but you need software I think. I have been looking at AMD RAIDXpert but not sure if this is working correctly.

From the BIOS I have two physical drives (1 x 1TB) and configured one logical drive

I have windows installed and its only showing 1 drive (drive0) with the partitions I created during the OS installation

100MB reserved for boot
110GB for OS
850~GB for DATA

I want this mirrored on to the second drive, however when I load AMD RAIDXPert software it not giving me much info other than I have 2 physical drives of 1TB, 1 logical drive of 1TB.

If I open windows disk management it only shows one disk (disk0) split in to 3 partitions (boot, OS and data)

So is this actually being mirrored do you think through RAIDXpert?

If you need anymore info I guess I can post screenshots etc

EDIT: Think I have it working now through RAIDXpert, currently syncing the disks

Cool, yeah just wanted to check, it has completed synchronizing so I can now setup email alerts and give it a test by whipping one of the drives out.

Thanks :)
