Using the TOSHIBA RAID Utility
Creating a new RAID-0 array
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
5 Click OK.
The computer begins creating the array by copying data
from the primary internal hard disk to the secondary
internal hard disk.
RAID-1 configuration can vary in time to complete, depending
on the size of the hard drives and the amount of data.
If the operating system is shut down before the RAID-1
configuration is complete, the RAID-1 configuration will
automatically resume when the computer is restarted.
Once the computer has been restarted you can continue to
work while the configuration resumes.
Creating a new RAID-0 array
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 40 GB hard disk
and one 60 GB hard disk, the computer’s total hard disk will
appear to the operating system as 80 GB. You cannot use the
remaining 20 GB on the larger hard disk drive.
Once you have selected either RAID 0 or RAID 1, changing the
RAID type at a later time will require re-imaging your hard
drive to the factory image and you will lose all data on both
drives. Please be certain of which RAID type you wish to use (if
any) before making a selection. Always make sure you have
backed up all important data.
