Probably a simple raid 1 question

sounds simple enough - I want to have 1 drive for the OS and programs and then 1 TB drives in a raid 1 setup for data.

I don't care about having to redo the OS - just don't want to lose my data.

The question is how to do this?

Do I need to install raid controllers prior to the OS - or simply just install 1 drive and setup the OS as usual - and then add 2 drives for the raid setup? ie can it all be setup after the fact - provided the drive the OS is on isn't being changed?

 
Kinda confused me with "after the fact", but what i did with mine, is used the built in RAID controller in the BIOS and turned RAID on for the 2 drives i wanted to RAID, then when booting up, u need to provide drivers (well thats what i needed for the OS) so not sure bout data strictly, but either way it worked well 🙂 otherwise through windows is the other option, right click my computer, manage, disk management, then right click the disk1 or disk0 etc( the 2 u wana RAID) and convert them both to Dynamic Disks, then right click the unallocated space in one and create new mirrored volume 🙂 easy as pie
