Do the raw disks show up in Windows?

HFS will mount fine. What kind of volumes are they?

I have 4 8tb setup raid 1 in two separate raid 1 drives is there some special thing I need to do to make it work in windows or do I have to completely re set it up for windows

No problem.

We do not have a RAID 1+0 or RAID 5 yet for Windows.

You cannot convert your Mirror to RAID 5, sorry. I wonder if you are not better off with 2 RAID 1 volumes for now, and running SoftRAID for Windows. Later this year, we should have the more advanced RAID available.
