Creating the array itself won't require you to assign any drive letters. So just create the array using the raid controller's utility, then boot into windows, change f to another driver letter, create a partition on your new array, assign it the letter f.

Do I have to create a partition? &nbsp;I was just going to use the whole RAID 1 drive as the F: drive.

Hi, Here is my scenario. &nbsp;I have an HP Proliant ML310 G3 series server. &nbsp;This server has a 4 bay SATA array. &nbsp;I plan on putting a RAID 1 configuration on 2 of the non-OS drives. &nbsp;One of these drives is designated as my F: drive. &nbsp;I want to make the 2 drives that I converted into the RAID 1 array the F: drive. &nbsp;What would be my steps for changing the drive letters? &nbsp;Should I take the current F: drive and rename it to Z: drive then create the RAID 1 using the F: drive designation? &nbsp;Or could I just create the RAID1 drive and call it the Z: drive then go into Windows disk management and change the drive designations there? &nbsp;Please advise.<br />

Thanks!

Changing Drive Letters

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
