RAID5???

L

I have a server that was originally setup with three 33GB
drives. RAID0. We decided to rebuild the drives. The
first drive was split in half to make the C: 16.5 GB.
Then the rest of the drives were all spanned together in
windows. What is this drive configuration called? RAID 5?

Probably a "spanned" volume. A RAID 5 volume will use the same size from
each disk, in your case 16.5 GB, and use one of these for parity, so only
33GB would be usable.

Best regards
