AppleRaid 2.0 - How to make disk visible in Windows 7?

[booyaaah]

Hi,
I have a Stardom Decktank filled with two WD 1.5tb drives formatted as concatenated (JBOD). Raid version is AppleRaid 2.0.

I chose to format the disks as ntfs the first time but when I had to defragment the disks waaaaaay to often to get full speed with torrents and usenet I figured HFS+ would work better.

The only problem is now that I can't get the JBOD disk to work in Windows 7 via Boot Camp. Is there any drivers i need to install to get it to work? I have googled but found nothing.

Please help!

Mac Drive might help.

Compatibility...RAID (drive arrays)

MacDrive will offer support if the RAID has been created in hardware (using a RAID controller), as this is presented to Windows as a single volume.

CrossStripe Edition extends MacDrive to include support for striped Mac arrays created with ATTO ExpressStripe or AVID Drive Utility software. CrossStripe is based on MacDrive 6 technology and supports Windows 2000 and XP (SP 2) only.

Important Note: Neither MacDrive nor CrossStripe will allow you to use a RAID created with Disk Utility on a Mac. We offer no product with this functionality at this time.

Thanks for the reply anyway!

Ah, sorry, didn't read the small print.

I used MacDrive for a while some years ago, that's why I know it.

But didn't know of this RAID incompatibility.

Why does it have to be a RAID anyway?

Torrents and Usenet shouldn't be that demanding (150MB/s is quite much).

I had the disks formatted as separate ntfs drives first but I have a 100/100mbit connection and it did'nt take long before the speeds started to decrease when downloading. It does'nt have to be a RAID but I thought it would be nice to have at least one drive letter less (I have 4 other external drives).
