CREATING A STRIPED POOL

The main reason for creating a striped pool is to increase performance. Two or more disks are required to create a striped pool. Striped pools alternate (or interleave) the data accessed in the pool. They do not provide for multiple copies of data stored in a pool and do not provide for protection from loss of data should a drive fail. In fact should a single drive that is part of a striped pool fail all data in the pool is lost even though the remaining disk(s) are functional.

1On the Disk Management menu, click Create New Pool.
