Where is my hard drive space??

[sram]

I have two velociraptors in Raid0 configuration. The total capacity of the array as you know will be ~550 GB. If I do a select all and choose properties to see how much space my data has taken, I will get about 24 GB. However, when I right click and choose properties for my array drive I get about 114 GB used up space!! Now that is not even close! page file? no

system restore maybe? I don't think so

Hidden files? NO

In addition to these somewhat obvious items, what else do I need to check for? That's too much space to not worry about!

It could be so many things.
Are you sure you picked RAID 0 and not RAID 1?
Are you sure you disabled system restore? (shadow copies can take up GBs of space.)
Are you reading the information correctly?
Does your Mobo bios detect both HDDs?
Did you partition the RAID 0 volume correctly?

Nevermind. It turned out to be system restore! Although I suspected it, I never thought it could so much space!!

Great! Same happened to me once.
