Re: R13 (R7-371T) Raid 0 - How ro Do it

Hi guys

 

Just to share my experience... I have a clients S5-391 with a 128GB mSATA (64+64) that lost its raid config after an upgrade. Ive been looking for three days for a solution getting the raid 0 back in place and finally found something that worked for me...

 

Ive tried using the cli way as stated earlier in this post but ran into an endless loop of issues. Tried using different different media, operating systems etc only to run into a new issue.

 

Luckily i still had the original recovery image so was still able to get the system running on one 64GB SSD. Out of options i decided to have a look at the installed Intel Rapid Storage on the app. Both disks were listed there and believe it or not it gave me an option to configure a raid setup!!!

 

Working in IT for the last 19 years I know for a a fact you can't manipulate raid configurations on an active system disk so was kind of sceptical proceeding. Didnt have anything to loose so tried anyway.

 

1. Created a raid 0 volume and named it "Stripe"

2. "Migrating data" process started and took about 20 minutes.

3. Rebooted laptop

4. After reboot windows installed a device with the name above I specified for my volume (Stripe)

5. Rebooted again and BAM!!! My 128GB volume was back!!

6. Extended my current "C" drive to use the new unallocated space.

 

This may not be a solution for this specific post but felt I had to share incase it would help someone.

 

Theo
