dynamic disks problem

FancyCache for Disks currently see's dynamic disks as separate disks i think they should be seen as one disk as you use raid 0 and use deferred write on one disk and there's a power cut/bsod you stuck with files with half there data missing same thing would probably happen if you enabled caching on both drives if they didn't flush at exactly the same time

well, in such scenario where a volume contains multiple disks, you may try the volume edition instead of disk edition.

Thanks.

I'm using the disk edition with an Intel P67B3 on-board raid, 2 disks in Raid 1.
With IntelĀ® Rapid Storage 10.8.0.1003, Windows Device Manager sees the array as one disk.
No problems with FancyCache, so maybe it depends on how Windows sees the volume?

Well, the raid created on motherboad phase is a "hard" raid, while created by dynamic disks (Microsoft drivers) is a "soft" raid". Windows see the "hard" raid as one disk.
