TOSHIBA RAID
TOSHIBA RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) realizes high
performance or fault tolerance, which are configured by arraying multiple
independent hard disk drives.
2 hard disk drives can be used to construct a RAID configuration (RAID-1:
mirroring or RAID-0: Striping).
When using RAID-1 (mirroring), the data is stored twice (once on each of
the HDDs) so that even if there are problems with one of the hard disk
drives, the other hard disk drive can be used to recover the data.
Please refer to the TOSHIBA RAID help for details.
■ By changing this setting you are reconfiguring your hard disk drive.
In which case, all data and programs in the hard disk drive, including
the operating system (e.g. Windows), will be erased.
If you have data on the hard disk drive that you wish to keep, make a
backup of that data onto external media (such as a CD) now.
You will not be able to create recovery discs, nor access any data from
the hard disk drive after reconfiguring your hard disk drive.
■ A power-on password can help restrict access to your data.
It can also help restrict access to System Setup, where some of your
computer’s configuration settings are kept.
If you do not have a power-on password set, someone with access to it
could
(i) set a power-on password, locking you out of your own computer, or
(ii) change your configuration settings, which could result in data loss.
We recommend that you consider using a power-on password.
