Hey,
So yesterday I bought a Vertex 100GB LE SSD, and 2 1.5TB WD's Greens. Currently beforehand I had 2 1 TB's (in Raid 0 as my operating system, created using Intel Storage Matrix), and another 1.5 TB Green.
What i want to do is make the SSD my operating system hard drive, keep the co-existing 2*1TB Raid 0 (format after backing up to remove original Windows Install), and have a RAID 5 3x1.5TB. I have everything backed up to the Raid 0 currently.
So question is, when I install Windows 7 onto my SSD, and install the latest raid drivers (Intels Rapid Storage) during installation, will I be able to see my old RAID 0, and will this reset my current RAID 0, as I can't afford this until I create the RAID 5 and transfer onto there?
Thank you for your time.
