Tried running in Windows, but files only copied onto one of the MicroSD cards. Is software/driver required to get RAID 0 behavior?

You need to format the card in your psp, take it out, switch the cards, format again, then return the cards to original position. The adapter will see the two cards as one and probly fill the first card before it starts using the second.

No, this isn't a RAID (although there is a version of this that does support RAID). I bought it as a replacement for a couple of hard drive docks that were giving me trouble and it worked perfectly and other than Windows having to re-recognize the drives Windows never even made a blip.

Actually tried that with one of the drives. Was a pain in the ass, and in the end it resulted in 'nada'. The switched controller reported the same error. Did have a little luck with another approach. Got a portable unit that accepts a hard drive on one end and has a USB on the other. With two of these, I was able to use an old CD copy program to make a copy. Took some errors on the way but worked well enough that the new drive had about 99% of the data. Since then, RAID 5, and while other drives have failed, no more dta loss.Hope this helps.

I have a San Disk multi card reader. Can't I just plug it into the USB port and read any card, micro SD included?

Hi, I use Ubuntu. Unfirtunately there is no linux driver for this fake HW Raid. Goods news that u may dont need it. I use Btrfs filesystem, which has a builtin raid support. I use only mirroring to be safe...

I am using 2 WD RE4 drives independently (not in RAID) in my desktop computer. I know there is some scary discussion about them only working in a RAID array, but I don't have any problems.

Yes, it does without drivers. I too did not install the drivers and JBOD is how you see it in OS X's Disk Utility App. From there I have set up RAID 0 and that too runs beautifully.

I have several 3Tbyte drives installed (linux software raid6) no problems, I am however not utilizing the fake-raid (firmware) on the card itself as I consider that a different risk should the controller card fail at some point. The port multiplier onboard the unit seems to handle the larger drives just fine.

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"

Yes, I have two internal drives running off this card, paired in a RAID 1, set up through Win 7. If your motherboard and OS supports RAID, it's not a problem.

Either is possible, it has two drives in it and can be used as Raid 1 or you can use them as Raid 0. From recollection it comes preconfigured to be used as Raid 0 - taking more advantage of the the thunderbolt interface.

I never tried 2 micro SDs together. It doesn't hurt if the machine can only read one at a time, or prioritizes on slot over the other by default

I don't think so. This is just a cheap alternative to more expensive RAID products.However, I think it will work on the specified chipset you mention. But definitely not in RAID mode.

You probably mean RAID 0 because RAID 1 is mirroring. I had it configured as RAID 10, it worked for a while until it failed but not because it was part RAID configuration.

Hi, yes indeed, as well as being a raid 0, 1, 5 unit this product is also a very competent JBOD (just a bunch of discs) that interfaces with your via a decent USB 3.0 port. It very (too) easily switches between those storage configurations; just don't make the mistake of switching before you've backed up your data!!

Just tested with a SD and MicroSD in at the same time and wasn't able to access either card. They showed up grayed out. Tested with 64-bit Win7

If you created the raid configuration using the BIOS/utility (pre-boot) of PCI-e card that comes with the unit, likely no. if operating system "software raid," yes, it should be readable, but will appear as a 'broken' raid drive but files should be readable. I formatted my drives outside the unit (if you do so, they show up as 'legacy' in the drive detection process prior to the OS boot), and it handles 3Tbyte drives without any problems. If you used the card to create the partition table and raid setup, outcome is unknown. I prefer software raid (it's just as fast) as any other modern/recent controller can read the drives and configuration.
