what RAID support does this model have???
1052918
Supported RAID Types: Synology Hybrid RAID, Basic, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 5+Spare, RAID 6, RAID 10 Personally I use the Synology Hybrid RAID. It provides redundancy in a manor similar to RAID 6 but can automatically extend space both horizontally and vertically. With four disk the SHR is supposed to be able to withstand a loss of up to 2 disk.

One would have to wonder why it is listed under RAID controllers if it does not support RAID.

It is RAID 0 which is what MSI calls "Super RAID 2" when they are using 3 SSD's in RAID 0. There is really no such thing as "RAID 2"

Hi Steve: I Can't verify, already installed in a customer's server. FW revision # looks familiar. I wouldn't bank on getting another drive with the same firmware on a different order - sometimes they are different on the same order. I use the RAID Controller (Adaptec) to update firmware on disks to get them the same.

look here, windows 7 supports software raid http://www.buildegg.com/bewp/?p=44

No problem at all, also works on Windows Server 2012 64bit, I have it running on RAID (mirror) set.

RAID 0,1 and SHR (Synology Hybrid Raid). With only 2 drives you can't get 5.

Correct, RAID 1 (mirror) is a supported configuration for this model. Mine came pre-configured with 'Synology Hybrid Raid' volumes, which is a set of Synology optimizations to RAID 1 (mirror) to better support having HDD of different sizes.

It does not but it's default bios can raid for raid1 other than that u will red to get your own or a software raid.

It should work as RAID set, if you do not need to see multiple drives, but if you want USB3.0 adapter support port multiplier protocol, look for "U3eSATA" in AMAZON

yes, I have two of these boxes, & I I either raid 0 or leave it at the default which is JBOD.right now, I buy a lot of Seagate Barracuda 4 terabyte drives, and put them in and out of these boxes per my various jobs. I work off of the one box that I have at 16 terabytes raid 0, & I back up to the JBOD single drives. it all works fine, & I configure everything using Disk Utility.

I just wanted to add that RAID 1 means 2 3TB drives will show up as 3TB (not 6TB) as it is a "mirrored" solution (and what I would recommend). So the MAX capacity in that set up is 4TB.

This model does not have RAID 0. Only the very top end model has tha(UX301-XH71T I think)--Edit: Apparently I was incorrect, as the person in the comment reply below said this model does in fact have Raid 0 (according to "Properties" of the 2 partitions, OS and DATA). There is no option in the BIOS to disable this, which is unfortunate. Although RAID 0 using SSDs is not nearly as dangerous for your data as with a normal hard-drive since a failure is so unlikely.

Yeah, I fell for it, too. I thought I was getting 2x 4TB drives -- and it is TB, btw...not gb (which is 1000x less). I found it's only 2x 2TB drives. I believe you can change the Raid to 0, though...which will stripe data across both of them and you'll get nearly 4TB of storage. The only downside to this is if one fails, you lose the data on both. Make it more fun then...and add a 2nd one to the network and have them back each other up =)

Can you run RAID that way? Id like to install 2 2TB drives, for large capacity RAID.

Yes, It is very conservative when it comes for the disks. My diskstation rejected 2 hard drives of mine that I never suspected. One of those disks died one month later. Anyway the raid config is still the best choice to avoid surprises.

If you are hooking this up to the Super RAID 2 board (3 slots) then check with the MSI website, there is a list of drives that work with their RAID boards.
