I was trying to stripe RAID0 with 3 * 10TB WD white label shucked disks and 4 * 8TB WD red label shucked disks. I used Windows 10 stripe function since mother board maker HW RAID only supports 2 HDDs to configure. 1) 2017 WD Red 8TB shucked HDD's require old SATA Connector with P3 3.3 Volts to configure RAID0 Striped by Windows 10 storage management function. If no P3 3.3v is supplied, Windows 10 recognizes RED HDDs but It rejects striping with message "not sufficient space available to configure". But Once RAID configured with P3, you can operate without P3 thereafter. 2) 2020 new WD white label 8TB/10TB shucked HDD's require to mask P3 ( via Kapton Tape or 4pin molexed SATA Power connectors) to power up and be recognized by Windows 10. But even after power on, Windows 10 rejects with " not sufficient space available" message to stripe the disks. So Raid function seems to somehow use the P3. 3) Success with 4 Red drives 32TB raid 0; failed with 3 White drives; I even tried with 4port Marvell 88SE9230 raid card and got the same error.
