I understand the risks of doing so. I confirm that my device is secure enough in this situation.

I am using windows server 2022 system.

I want to create a raid5 array of ntfs disks.

I use ntfs because I want to use the fast retrieval function of software like everything.

By the way, is the hard disk created by the pool standard NTFS format with "Master File Table" and "USN journal"?

I have no choice, I only have a mini computer and a mechanical hard disk expansion enclosure (usb3.2 transmission protocol) with five independent ic controllers.

Please help me, thanks.

    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query related to Dynamic Disk conversion.

    1. I would suggest you to Format the Drive as you mentioned that you have secure the Data.
    2. Got to Computer Management -> Disk Management -> Select Three Disks and convert them to Dynamic for RAID-5 then Right Click and Create RAID Volume
