asked on SBS 2011 RAID5 CONFIG HELP
I'm having a problem trying to configure a RAID 5 array with a rocketraid 640 controller. Where I am getting confused is I have the controller set to be bootable, and I configured the RAID 5 Array from the card Bios. It all looks good , and shows the 4TB size ( 3700+GB )
I start the SBS 2011 install from a flash drive , Load the Raid drivers, and it shows the
3700+ GB of storage. But when I choose to make a 300GB boot partition it then splits the RAID Array into 2 seperate 2gb drive partitions. at that point windows will start to load but on reboot I just get a black screen & no 2nd startup for install.
Do I have to create 2 seperate RAID 5 arrays say 1 500GB & install on that and make a seperate RAID 5 of the balance & then configure it through the WEB Management software?

So I guess I did not think this through, I will either go back to the way I was going first:<br /><br />1 OCZ Sata III Solid State Drive 120 GB for the OS, and ( 2) 2TB Data drive in a Mirror Array.<br /><br />I am Buying another 2 TB drive to test the RAID 10 Setup. Thanks for the imput
