Q: How to set up RAID in El Capitan

Ive just upgraded to El Capitan but when going to Disk Utility to make a raid system it has seemed to have gone!

Does anyone know if it has been removed from Disk Utility or if it has been relocated?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

I just did it, successfully - quit & restart with Option/Command/R - open Disk Utilities & BINGO! there it is> RAID as in Yosemite - I dragged my 2 HDs into it & I was good to go on a restart - no Terminal No nothing - Apple did't even know about it

Rock on!

Hopefully this will all be over soon. Sierra is supposed to bring back the RAID functionality to Disk Utility.

Hi!
Perfect solution indeed!
But I have a question: does both disks format in these operation?
I need to jbod (concatenate) to extend my system disk, but I don't want to lose data...
Best regards.

Creating a JBOD erases the drives.
Don't do anything that involves formatting with a guaranteed good backup.
