Erasing a RAID

[steveOooo]

Using Mac Pro 5,1 2010 model.

Im having some issues with my RAID - it auto erases permenantly anything sen to the trash (before saying the file is in use) very tedious, with some files not deleting at all 'in use'

I want to erase and re-format the raid (2x 2TB WD Black drives) and start over, see if that helps.

Whats the best way to go about it? I dont have the apple RAID card installed

Shall i just erase each one in disc utility?

DON'T FORGET TO BACKUP! 😉

My routine:

1. Disk Utility (DU) -> delete both raid slices with the [-] button
2. Reformat HDD's individual
3. Check each drives with DU for errors on disks
4. Combine them again with soft raid
5. Reformat / erase raid
6. Check raid with DU

You're set to go now!

Cheers
