RAID Configuration Program - Logical Drive Definition - Array Selection

Notes:

a.If only one hard disk has been assigned to the array, RAID level 0 will be automatically assigned and the pop-up menu does not appear.

b.If only two hard disks are assigned to the array, RAID-5 is not selectable, since at least three hard disk drives in an array are necessary to assign RAID level 5 to one of the logical drives.

c.Define any RAID-5 logical drives first. This is because the first logical drive seen will be the first RAID-5 drive created and will be assigned drive letter C. In this way, the operating system will be installed on a RAID-5 drive.

d.The three RAID levels (0, 1 and 5) can be mixed in the same array allowing the user to chose the optimum RAID level for each data type.

e.It is, however, not recommended to mix RAID-0 with the others levels if a hot-spare drive is defined, since an automatic rebuild would not be possible.

3.Assign the RAID level wanted and press Enter.

The logical drive size pop-up menu shows the space available in this array for logical drives.

RAID-5 has been chosen in this example.
