jarobata Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I've got OSX up and running but it can't seem to see my drives at all that are in RAID 0. Is it impossible for me to have the drives in RAID and share them between windows and OSX? I have them formatted in FAT32 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65233-can-you-share-a-raid-0-setup-between-xp-and-osx/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnb5500 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 A little description of your hardware would help, but assuming your using software based raid (built in your MoBo), its gonna be impossible. The only way to get raid on OSX will be to configure it in disk utility and that means breaking your current raid. After that, windows won't be able to detect it even if you make a fat or ntfs partition on it. Only real chance would be to use a hardware based raid, probably something high end too like Highpoint.

jarobata Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 ya from what I have read, that's what I figured. I have an ASROCK 939sli32 with an AMD 939sli32 and 2 seagate 160gb sata 2 in raid. I've read that "Raid" by consumer standards is software based and the software for raid in OSX is very different than windows. I think i'll just end up not using raid or setting it up for OSX only (who uses windows anyway :-) ) How can you even set up hardware based RAID? I've never seen any consumer products for this purpose.
