I am about to build a pc I have been collecting parts for over the past year. I had planned to have the drives set up in RAID1. I was going back through the motherboard book and noticed something troubling, that my initial RAID setup I had planned may not work.
Seems it's a bit of a guessing game if this will work or won't, so I'm posting this here for confirmation of if this setup will work, or if I will have to just run the drives without RAID and do periodic backups instead, or just have some of the drives in RAID1 and the others without RAID and do periodic backups on them.
Here is the drive setup I had planned. I assumed with 8x SATA3 that I wouldn't have any issue with running these in RAID1, but I may have been wrong?
1x 250gb NVME (on board, O/S boot drive) No RAID, will have a partition on 6tb drive for backup.
2x 500gb SSD (PC programs) RAID1
2x 1tb SSD (Steam, dedicated games drive) RAID1
2x 6tb HDD (Mass file storage, 250gb partition for o/s backup) RAID1
Any help or confirmation on this is appreciated. Worse case, I think I may have to drop something like the 6tb drives from RAID1 and just schedule a periodic backup on them?
