RAID Setup

Your hard disks or solid state drives can be set up in RAID
mode (for increased performance or protection). Note
that setting up your hard disks/solid state drives in
RAID mode needs to be done prior to installing the
Windows OS. Do not change the mode unless you intend
to reinstall your operating system, and make sure you back
up all necessary files and data before doing so.
To configure your RAID (Redundant Array of Indepen-
dent Disks) system in Striping (RAID 0) or Mirroring
(RAID 1) mode (see Table
cal hard disks or solid state drives.
RAID Level
RAID 0 Identical drives reading and writing data in
(at lease two parallel to increase performance. RAID 0
hard disks/ implements a striped disk array and the data is
SSDs broken into blocks and each block is written to
needed) a separate disk drive.
Identical drives in a mirrored configuration
RAID 1 used to protect data. Should a drive that is
(at lease two part of a mirrored array fail, the mirrored drive
hard disks/ (which contains identical data) will handle all
SSDs the data. When a new replacement drive is
needed) installed, data to the new drive is rebuilt from
the mirrored drive to restore fault tolerance.

Description
Prepare the following before setting up your SATA hard
disks/SSDs in RAID mode:
• The Microsoft Windows 10 OS disc.
• An attached external DVD drive.
• A hard disk installed in the Primary HDD bay and a second
(identical) hard disk installed in the Secondary HDD bay.
Or
Two identical SATA solid state drives.
• The Device Drivers & Utilities + User's Manual disc.
Prepare the following before setting up your PCIe SSDs
in RAID mode:
• The Microsoft Windows 10 OS disc.
• An attached external DVD drive.
• Two identical PCIe solid state drives.
• The Device Drivers & Utilities + User's Manual disc.
• A USB flash drive.
• An operable computer (to copy files from the Device Driv-
ers & Utilities + User's Manual disc to the USB flash
drive).
Note: All hard disks/SSDs in a RAID should be identical
(the same size and brand) in order to prevent unexpected
system behavior.
