4.16.2 Create Volume Manually

The Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition offers the ability to create a RAID volume. This option should be used if you are using a third bootable device such as an IDE or SCSI hard drive – in addition to using two Serial ATA hard drives. One benefit of using a third bootable device and creating a RAID volume is that the operating system is not located on the RAID volume. Should something happen to the RAID volume, the operating system should not be impacted.

Note

The ‘Create RAID Volume’ option is not selectable unless a third bootable device (such as an IDE or SCSI hard drive) is installed in the system – in addition to using two Serial ATA hard drives.

To manually create a RAID volume, right-mouse click on ‘Actions’ and select ‘Create RAID Volume’ to create a new RAID volume as illustrated below:

Note

Manually creating a RAID volume can also be accomplished by clicking on the ‘Actions’ file menu, and then arrow down and click on 'Create RAID Volume'.
