    Hey guys, Just brought myself a P150SM-A with two Crucial 240GB M-sata ssd's. I'm trying to setup a raid 0 (purely a gaming machine). My problem is when I create the raid0 volume it only becomes the total of 1 SSD space, 240GB. If I select raid1 its is also the same total, but each SSD total has now halved.

    I'm new to raid so maybe I've misunderstood but I thought raid 0 would combine the total size of each?

    It... should. Did you set the correct size of the raid? When making the volume it should ask for the size. Also, are you 100% sure that you have two 240GB SSDs? Because something sounds.... wrong. There.

    Well I feel very silly now :eek:

    Work out the manufacture already setup a raid1, trying to build another volume off that was splitting the capacity to suit.

    All sorted.

    You can break the array in the intel raid controller an advanced restart if you have windows 8.
