sickofit Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 i read that it is possible to use software raid from disk util with osx. i never used softraid before. and have no experiances with raid an multiple os's... so i have a few questions: is it possible to install osx on the software raid or can you just use software raid disks as storage disks? is it possible to use software raid on 2 HDDs, than set up 2 partitions on this raid and install osx on the first and win7 on the second? will both os's be able to use the same softraid? or if i use softraid for 2 HDDs with windows and another 2 HDDs with softraid and osx, will i be able to get access from one os to the other os's raid? thank you for your help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/220549-software-raid-with-osx-and-win7/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKA Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 i read that it is possible to use software raid from disk util with osx. i never used softraid before. and have no experiances with raid an multiple os's... so i have a few questions: is it possible to install osx on the software raid or can you just use software raid disks as storage disks? You can install OS X to SW RAID see this guide by nathan7 here is it possible to use software raid on 2 HDDs, than set up 2 partitions on this raid and install osx on the first and win7 on the second? will both os's be able to use the same softraid? Don't know ... but don't think it is possible or if i use softraid for 2 HDDs with windows and another 2 HDDs with softraid and osx, will i be able to get access from one os to the other os's raid? I have seen people who have success with seeing (in OS X) a hardware ICH10 RAID. but installing to ICH10 HW RAID seems a bit hit and miss. Don't know about windows SW RAID . see here thank you for your help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/220549-software-raid-with-osx-and-win7/#findComment-1484507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
