You're all set! To configure RAID 1 or mirroring on your OS drive, follow the steps in your AMD Threadripper's BIOS/UEFI settings. Make sure to enable RAID and select the appropriate configuration for mirroring. If you need further guidance, let me know! Cheers.

Set up the RAID prior to installing the operating system. Be aware that Windows may require extra drivers during installation to recognize the RAID configuration.

I need more details to help. Could you clarify what you're asking about?

Consider using Microsoft Storage spaces for mirroring.

Yes, it involves using Azure services and storing your system drive backup in the cloud.

Storage spaces is a Windows capability that simplifies software RAID setup. It's unclear whether you're referring to an Unraid OS drive or the VM’s operating system drive—doing RAID on the shared pool is ideal, avoiding extra RAID configurations elsewhere.

I'm not familiar with raid or VM setups, but I just want to make sure I understand how everything connects. My goal is to duplicate my operating system drive so that if something goes wrong, I have a backup ready to use until I can replace the SSD and rebuild the cloned drive for long-term protection.

What operating system is used in this environment? Are we referring to the Unraid OS or the virtual machine's OS running inside it?
