Before configuring your system for RAID-0, make sure you
back up all data on your computer’s hard drives onto another
storage media. When a RAID-0 array is created, all data on
both your primary and secondary hard disks is erased and
cannot be recovered. Toshiba is not responsible for any loss of
data on your hard disks.
Your machine supports Redundant Array of Independent Disks
(RAID). Please select the RAID level.
1. Factory Default
Setup the computer ready to support mirroring function.
You can use RAID Utility to configure two hard disks to
become mirror of each other, in which the same data is
written on both hard disks. If one hard disk fails, the
system can still run from the other hard disk. Before using
RAID Utility, your second hard disk can still work as
independent hard disk.
Advance Setting (for Advance users only)
2. RAID-1 - Automatically configure two hard disks of your
computer to become mirror after recovery process is
completed.
WARNING: You can not use the second hard disk for any
other purpose until you use RAID Utility to end mirroring.
3. RAID-0 - Automatically configure computer to support
striping function - data is broken into blocks and written
to both hard disks simultaneously to increase the hard disk
performance.
WARNING: IF ONE HARD DISK FAILS, ALL DATA IS LOST.
