WHS raid 1 primary drive

[AP2]

I just built a test WHS out of some parts i had and had a question about my set up. I have 2x 40GB SSD running in raid 1 via SIIG raid card and when I click on control panel>administrative tools>computer management>disk management

it shows



--------(e: ) | partition | basic | NTFS | Healthy (Active) | 20.00 GB | 13.81 GB
DATA (d: ) | partition | basic | NFTS| Healthy | 278.08 GB| 277.86 GB
SYS (c: ) | partition | basic| NFTS | Healthy (System) |20.00 GB | 14.34 GB

why is it splitting the 40 GB SSD?

Thanks

It is split to keep the OS separate from the Data. On WHS v1, the system can store data on the "system" drive if the storage pool gets full.

doesnt WHS need 60gb for OS drive?

sorry! also forgot to add that it states:

disk 0
basic 298.08 GB [sys (c: ) 20gb NTFS healthy (system)][data (d: ) 278.08gb NTFS healthy]

disk1
basic 37.27 GB [-------(e: ) 20.00gb NTFS healthy (active)][17.27gb unallocated]

disk0
The SYS partition will be 20 GB in Size and is where the WHS OS actually resides the remaining DATA partition is actually part of the storage pool.

You lost me as to why you have a 20GB partition on disk1.

Edit: I have a HP mediasmart server that had an OS drive failure that I had to try to CHKDSK...that is the only reason I know about the 20gb
