Question Creating a raid0 with diskpart with 4 128gb SSD?

[DaaQ]

Hi all, I'm having an issue with older system. It's a CHVF-E motherboard.
I got windows 11 installed on it the main SSD is 64GB ss 830 I have 4 128GB ss 830s that I would like to raid0 for capacity.
Using diskpart I am able to manipulate them but I think Ive got the process wrong and my Google fu is burnt out from trying to use the onboard controller.

Not able to install w11 on a raid array simply put.

Any advice would be appreciated. Not worried about long term endurance sin e I will be upgrading over time.


As a side not since this is the memory and storage forum.
What is the sweet spot for ddr5 for Ryzen 4. I know they recently increased the speed ability on it.

Thanks again.

Need some more specific info here. All google spits back is you're using an Asus likely for a mobo.

Not sure how windows does raid but, Linux is pretty simple once you boot and open a terminal you can run a couple of commands and it's online and readable. https://www.stellarinfo.com/article/set-up-RAID-in-windows.php

Using the OS is usually easier than the onboard option. The only benefit of the onboard is it's independent of the OS.

Yes it's an Asus cross hair v formula e 990fx chipset.
Seems to be able to be done in win11 through storage settings. But I keep getting an error that there isn't enough space to complete to function. So I think I need to make the volume smaller than the full capacity of the drives but not sure if that's for all 4 or just the first one.

Out on an outage call ATM for work so thought I'd get some more brain power onto it.

This is a 10yr old or more. Fx8320 vishera chip with a GTX 780. Had never built it back in the day and life issues got in the way.
Now I just want to play D4. Will upgrade as funds allow

that there isn't enough space to complete to function

Probably sees the prior array as used space and won't keep it intact and mount it. If you have a back up then delete the partitions and try again.

3 of the 4 were never powered up, I think I am having issues with creating the volumes and or partitions. I did do a clean all on them, I do not want to use the onboard raid since it only initialized once.

I am home now and going to read your link and see if I get a lightbulb lit from that.

Thank you.
Edit:
I had followed that guide earlier, I get the command you selected is not compatible with this version of windows (11)

Wonder if I try the media install tool from windows 10?? I used RUFUS to get 11 to install on this system.

Well I'll be bamboozled, now disk management is listing the drives to add to the striped volume 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤞👍

Shook something loose with a reboot or two I'm guessing. W11 is funky with some tasks. I can do a shutdown on my laptop and the uptime clock won't reset is one thing I've noticed. I use a program for the taskbar to do w10 style functions as well and it works except for using the start button. I keep most things saved on different partitions and on my server instead of local because I don't trust Windows and haven't for years.
