I remember a time when that was a common thing for laptop drives to come preconfigured as Raid 0. Maybe the OEMs thought it would be easier to add storage that way...?

I get that maybe it’s preconfigured which might make sense on dell pc’s that’d fit a few drives in empty sata slots, but it took me nearly two days to think of that solution.

I figured throw it out there in case someone else has issues with an install locating the main drive on a Dell.

I just got a Dell precision through work, and I am glad I accidentally stumbled on that in the bios menu, I would not have guessed either
