Question

you want to create a software raid 1 array on your windows 11 workstation using disk 1 and disk 2. what do you need to do with disk 1 and disk 2 before configuring them for a raid 1 array? format both disks with the same file system. convert the disks from dynamic to basic. verify that both disks are the same size. convert the disks from basic to dynamic.

Explanation:

Windows requires disks to be converted to dynamic disks to create software RAID arrays, as basic disks do not support RAID configurations. Formatting is not a prerequisite before setup, converting to basic disks is incorrect, and while similar size is practical, it is not a required pre-configured step for the RAID 1 setup process in Windows.

Answer:

Convert the disks from basic to dynamic.
