2011年2月1日 · Raid 7 is a trademarked marketing term used by the Storage Computer Corporation. The controller card uses its own CPU and combines striping and RAID-5-like storage. The controller card uses its own CPU and combines striping and RAID-5-like storage.

How to convert an existing Windows 7 installation from IDE to RAID. I have successfully converted a pre-existing Windows 7 IDE installation to a RAID 0 configuration. It was actually not that difficult. I read hundreds of posts on multiple forums and was never able to find a solution, so I figured it out myself.

3) Windows 7, after just some 15 years now, finally caught up with Linux (and its "loop devices") and introduced a notion of "virtual hard disk", which is really a file on a real hard disk. 4) So, I wanted to create two virtual hard disk files on my two different hard disks, make them dynamic, format them, and finally join into one, for example ...

Does software RAID 1 (mirroring) in Windows 7 improve read speeds? I'd like to set up RAID 1 to help protect my important documents (yes, yes, I know it's not a backup), but performance is also important to me. As I understand it, RAID 1 should theoretically be able to improve my read speeds by n times, where n is the number of disks.

How to enable RAID AFTER having installed Win OS (This works in Win 7 and 8) Use run command (Winkey+r) and type "msconfig", hit enter. Under the second tab "Boot", check "Safe boot" under boot options, use "Minimal" sub-option. Click OK and reboot. At reboot enter bios and change controller to RAID, save bios and reboot.

In this circumstance, unless your motherboard has actual hardware RAID (not the standard fake hardware RAID) you are much better off sticking with Windows 7 RAID. Even when considering pure hardware RAID vs. software RAID there are trade-offs with each system, and IMO hardware RAID is only necessary in a production environment.

The reason a mirror is the closest thing to a backup versus other forms of RAID is that the RAID controller is not actually required to recover files from these drives. If your actual RAID controller dies in any other type of RAID (i.e. RAID5, RAID0, RAID10, etc.), it is unlikely that you would be able to recover the files on the drives.

A: In most cases RAID-5 will be optimal choice for server applications, providing well balanced combination of performance, capacity, data availability, and cost. More details on other RAID levels are provided below: RAID-10: Can be used in business-critical applications that require the highest data availability and the highest write performance.

2011年6月27日 · Can Windows 7 manage 2 or more pen-drives (or external disk drives) to implement a RAID-1 to backup the content of them? I have a pen-drive and an external hard disk, both with really relevant and important information, however, as I know both of them can be unsecure (I mean, I need to backup the content of one in the other).

It depends on your RAID solution. Many RAID solutions format a disk when constructing a RAID or adding a new disk. Desktop versions of Windows have a built-in software RAID capability which will attempt to preserve your data during conversion. However, you should still back up your data in case something goes wrong. Start Disk Management.
