Configuring the Stripe Set

To implement RAID-0, follow these steps:

    Invoke DiskPart by typing diskpart at the command prompt.

    List the disks on the computer, check the free space, and ensure that the disks you want to work with are all configured as dynamic disks, as follows:

    DISKPART> list disk

    Create the stripe set as follows:

    DISKPART> create volume stripe size=N disk=N,N,N,...

    where size=N is the amount of space in megabytes that the volume will use on each disk. If no size is given, DiskPart uses all the remaining free space on the smallest disk and then uses the same amount of space on the remaining disks. disk=N,N,N,... sets the disks onto which the volume should be striped. You need to use at least two dynamic disks.

Consider the following examples:

Create a striped volume on disks 0, 1, and 2 using all available space on the smallest disk and then using the same amount of space on the remaining disks:

create volume stripe disk=0,1,2

Create a striped volume on disks 0, 1, and 2 using 4 GB (4096 MB) of space on each disk:

create volume stripe size=4096 disk=0,1,2
