Raid0 configuration for a Dell laptop with Intel components.
Raid0 configuration for a Dell laptop with Intel components.
Hello! On your SATA setup, it seems the RAID feature isn't available. With two SSDs connected, you might be able to use a different method or software to manage storage. Let me know if you need further guidance!
Are you setting up RAID via the BIOS or using Windows? Also, if you intend to run Windows on the RAID setup, most consumer devices I know don’t offer native RAID support, meaning you’d need an external drive for your operating system. The built-in RAID features in BIOS depend on your motherboard, and without support there, the only viable path is configuring it through Windows or another OS that allows software RAID.
I reviewed the BIOS but didn't find any issues. I own a Dell Inspiron 5577.
If the BIOS doesn't support it, the main option is to adjust RAID via software—typically using your operating system. As mentioned, creating a bootable RAID setup through software is nearly unfeasible, which can cause problems unless you add another drive as a boot device and configure RAID manually. It's usually wiser to keep things simple and accept multiple drives instead of relying on software-managed RAID.
I doubt it will work. You can simply use a standard SATA SSD without any extra setup—it'll perform just as well as the operating system allows. RAID0 offers little benefit for most users, especially with affordable SSDs available now. Plus, you're not doubling your risk of losing everything, which is good because in RAID0 failure both drives are equally affected.
Your serial number stays the same. If your hardware is banned in Fortnite, it looks like an issue on your end—unless you can appeal, you’ll need to try a different game. We won’t assist with bypassing restrictions.
