Functions for RAID system management

The preinstalled software of the RAID system offers enhanced functions for using and managing the RAID system. It can be started via "Start > Programs > Intel Matrix storage manager.

The command "View -> Advanced Mode" displays the details of the RAID association.

The command "View -> System Report" produces a report with details of the RAID association.

Notice

The details of the RAID status are produced by default as a Windows event display and written to the program's log file.

In case of malfunction, a drive can be synchronized at the operating system level. It may take up to several hours to synchronize a new disk in the background, depending on the size of the hard disk and on system load.

The redundant system state RAID 1 is reached again only after synchronization is completed.
