    Are you using hardware RAID? yeah, that doesn't go too well with Linux... works perfectly in Windows though, cuz their softraid solutions are shit.

    Server-level hardware RAID is fine on Linux. It has to, because manufacturers would cut out a huge chunk of their market if they didn't. Servers are moving away from that, though, and using filesystems with their own software RAID, like zfs.

    Cheapo built-in consumer motherboard RAID doesn't work great on Linux, but it's also hot garbage that's software RAID with worse performance than the OS implementation could give you. I guess if you're dual booting, you'd have to do it that way since I don't think you can share software RAID between Windows and Linux. It's still not great.

    That is what I actually meant.

    That's why you don't do RAID at all on a daily driver. You make/buy a NAS for that kind of thing. Maybe just RAID1 in hardware, cuz that's easy to set up and generally just works, even with low end hardware solutions.

    It's called FakeRAID for a reason.
