I have always had a hardware RAID 5, but recently lost tons of data due to a drive loss, even after recovery steps.
I am trying to set up a RAID 1 on 3 drives, and I do not see the option "Add Mirror" which I saw on many How-tos.
EDIT Here is when attempting to click on a simple volume and no volume.
EDIT 2 Fun fact, I booted off my Windows 7 and attempted the same thing ... THERE IT IS!
EDIT 2016: Windows 10 Home Edition does not have support for most Raid setups. It's recommended to use Storage Spaces but if you get Windows 10 Pro or higher it will have the Raid support I wanted.
1You need to delete the volumes before you can access that option. – Michael Frank – 2015-11-16T00:37:24.837

Have you installed the most recent storage drivers for Win 10 for your controller? What drivers are installed on the Win 7 install that are not on the Win 10 install? Is the Win7 install tested on the same machine or a different machine? – Bilfred – 2015-11-23T06:23:30.677
4RAID exists to minimize downtime due to hardware failures, not to protect against data loss. – David Schwartz – 2015-11-23T13:02:01.780
Why not to invest in a real RAID solution like QNAP or Synology? I know this is not answering the question but these devices are quite more simpler to manage. – рüффп – 2015-11-25T23:12:12.460
