Creating RAID Sets
Because SATARaid supports two drives, creating RAID Sets is a simple
procedure.
1. Select “Create RAID Set.”
2. Choose either a “Striped” or “Mirrored” RAID Set.
3. Select if you want the utility to Auto Configure the RAID Set or if you
want to manually configure the RAID Set. For Striped Sets, you can
change the chunk size. For Mirrored Sets, you assign which is the
Source and Target drives, as well as if you want Disk Copy.
4. The utility will ask, “Are You Sure?” before completing the
configuration.
