Using the RAID-0 or RAID-1 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 40GB hard disk

 

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

 

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

 

40GB + 60GB). You cannot use the remaining 20GB 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 40GB hard disk drive and one 80GB hard

 

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

 

as only 40GB to the operating system.
