TOSHIBA RAID Console Utility

NOTE

When RAID-0 is configured, the total hard disk capacity will

 

appear to the operating system as twice that of the smaller of

 

the two hard drives in the RAID configuration. For example,

 

when a RAID-0 array is configured with one 40 GB hard disk

 

and one 60GB hard disk, the computer’s total hard disk will

 

appear to the operating system as 80 GB, 40 GB + 40 GB (NOT

 

40 GB + 60 GB), since you cannot use the remaining 20 GB on

 

the larger hard disk drive.

 

When RAID-1 is configured, the computer’s total hard disk

 

capacity will appear to the operating system as the smaller of

 

the two hard disk drives used. For example, when RAID-1 is

 

configured with one 40 GB hard disk drive and one 80 GB hard

 

disk drive, the computer’s total hard disk capacity will appear

 

as only 40 GB to the operating system.
