I accidentally created a RAID 0 Volume with my 1TB HDD and 2TB SSD and instead of adding them together, they merged?!?

Rapid Storage kept pestering me after I installed my newest 2 TB SSD to create a volume and I saw no harm in it at the time, so I did. For some reason instead of a 3 TB volume in disk management I am shown a 2TB Disk with 1 TB worth of unallocated space?!? Perhaps I'm going about this wrong as I've never used Rapid Storage until now, but am I just being stupid or what?

If you delete the 2TB volume that currently exists within the array, you should then be able to create a 3TB volume. Alternatively, you can just create a 1TB volume from the free space and then have two separate drives (2TB and 1TB).

Ah alright, I couldn't find a way to delete the volume as my main drive with the os is in it and Rapid Storage screams at me when I consider deleting it so I just created a new 1 TB volume as you said. Thank you!
