configuration (see "Migrating to a RAID Level 1 Configuration" on page 58),
or a RAID level 5 configuration (see "Migrating to a RAID Level 5
Configuration" on page 59). Create a new volume only when:
• You are adding two new drives to an existing single-drive computer (and
the operating system is on the single drive), and you want to configure the
two new drives into a RAID volume.
• You already have a two-hard drive computer configured into a volume, but
you still have some space left on the volume that you want to designate as
a second RAID volume.
