@Kaji Yeah i first wanted to buy 4 4TB and run it in RAID 10 but it was way cheaper with 2 8TB. And both options are not as expensive as 512GB M2 SSDs :D.
Unfortunately the SAS Controller from my server is not capable to do RAIDs with more than 2TB so I needed to use the Windows Software RAID ... -
@sSam I don't need 16TB that's why the two HDDs are running in RAID 1 and I wanted to have 8 so storage wouldn't be an issue for a long time
A few weeks ago I ordered 2 8TB HDDs so they can run in RAID 1 on my server. Then I discovered that one of them isn't working.
So I sent it back to seagate and got a new fresh one today. I thought I would install it in my server and everything will be fine ...
First thing was to backup all files on the already working HDD and delete the volume, but windows already put a pagefile on it so I needed to deactivate it.
Restarted and notice that windows wasn't doing anything so I deactivated it again and now the wonderful text "Getting Windows ready screen" appeared and after minutes of starring at a non moving image I force-restarted the server and eventually I could delete the volume.
I activated mirroring and thought "I'm ready to go". After 15 Minutes of waiting, the text changed from "Formatting" to "Formatting (1%)". The only thing I wanted to do was yelling ... Thanks Windows .... thanks
