PC Build Series - Video 9 - RAID set-up - Installing Windows 7 + Benchmarking. In this video I show you the RAID setup (this is not needed for a regular install). This is followed by the Windows 7 installation and then some benchmarking figures both with the Windows Performance Index and Heaven Benchmark v2.1. There will also be three extra bonus videos on the channel over the next couple of weeks. A close-up of the wiring connections. This will be followed by a CPU Cooler Upgrade and a 256GB Crucial Solid State Drive. Windows 7 Home Premium OEM price at time of build £77.63. Total Cost of this PC Build: £1,327.79. Possible savings - Corsair 650W PSU, slightly slower processor, Asus HD 5850 GPU, 4GB RAM (instead of 6GB), 1 x 1TB hard drive (instead of 2), DVD Writer (instead of BluRay). This would have taken the cost down to £923.70.

just a couple questions. first do you need to install the raid drivers all the time. i have done it before installing it, could you explain it a bit? next it will windows 7 read a raid that is over 3tb. like creating a raid 0 with all 4 hdd 1tb each? can it read and use all 4tb as one drive, or will i have to create like 2 partitions?

I'm running windows 7 on my desktop with 1 hdd but I want to upgrade to raid 0. Will I need raid drivers? I also need to know if I can use my windows 7 UPGRADE disc to install on the formatted drives. Thanks.
maxgrubb Says:
wait, so whats the difference between Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade and Windows 7 Home Premium Full? Someone told me that Upgrade is to update a hdd or sdd from a previous os like XP or Vista and Full is to install into a brand new or formated drive. Please help!
davomrmac Says:
Yes you will need them.
Rokingben Says:
I am going to be running 2x Seagate 500gb on Raid 0, will i need drivers?
davomrmac Says:
You only need RAID drivers if you are using two or more hard drives in a RAID configuration. You get them from the motherboard manufacturers website.
Rokingben Says:
Where do i get the raid drivers, please help me fast.. somebody! Do i NEED the drivers?
davomrmac Says:
Completely the same.
