I saw this on YouTube and decided to make one myself this weekend. Here are some photos I took along with descriptions of the process.

There are ways to work it with Windows...

USB Flash Drive RAIDers of Windows 7

Should be easier with Windows 8, while it'll be more practical using a USB 3.0 capable system.

i followed that but i still cannot get it to work. after removing the drives from disk managment and trying to create a new dynamic disk, those options are all greyed out. any insight? even tried doing it through diskpart via cmd window and when i try to convert the drive to a dynamic disk it gives me an error saying the drive cant be converted.

Are you using the Eee PC in your sig for this?

Could be its controller doesn't support this type of configuration, may need AHCI support for example and isn't included in that model. Most modern systems have AHCI enabled by default now and the Linux method fully supports it as well.

no, im using a windows 7 based laptop for this. although it would be nice if i could use XP...

I said you needed AHCI enabled, not that you were using XP! People have managed to VLite Windows 7 onto their Eee PC's so I didn't assume that as then I would have asked if you had the Pro/Server version of XP, as that's the only way you could have done this then and that version is hard to come by now.

Btw, if the Windows 7 was installed with AHCI disabled then it automatically deactivates those drivers and you'll have to follow a process to get it enabled again and not just turn it on in the BIOS.
