RAID Configuration Below are the different types of a RAID. RAID 0 breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives. Spreading the hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly improves I/O performance. RAID 1 provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives and provides enhanced read performance. RAID 5 provides data striping at the byte level and also stripe error correction information. This results in excellent performance and good fault tolerance.
6. Press F10 to save configuration and exit, and then reboot and press Delete key to enter BIOS Setup menu. 7. Go to BIOS > SETTING > Advanced > Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology submenu. Creating RAID Volume 1. As previously mentioned, enable Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology. 2. Enter Create RAID Volume screen. The following screen appears: 3. Specify a Name for RAID volume. 4. Select the RAID Level best suited to your usage model in RAID Level. 5.
Removing a RAID Volume Here you can delete the RAID volume, but please be noted that all data on RAID drives will be lost. Important If your system currently boots to RAID and you delete the RAID volume, your system will become unbootable. 1. Go to BIOS > SETTING > Advanced > Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology. 2. Select the RAID volume from the Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology screen to enter the RAID VOLUME INFO screen. 3. Select the Delete item and press Enter key to delete the selected RAID volume.
Resetting Disks to Non-RAID 1. Go to BIOS > SETTING > Advanced > Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology. 2. Select the RAID volume from the Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology screen to enter the RAID VOLUME INFO screen. 3. Select the disk and press Enter to enter PHYSICAL DISK INFO screen. 4. Select Reset to non-RAID item and press Enter to delete the RAID volume and remove any RAID structures from the drives. The following screen appears: 5. Select the Yes item and press Enter key to accept the disk reseting.
Rebuilding RAID Array A RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 10 volume is reported as Degraded when one of its hard drive members fails or is temporarily disconnected, and data mirroring is lost. As a result, the system can only utilize the remaining functional hard drive member. To re-establish data mirroring and restore data redundancy, refer to the procedure below that corresponds to the current situation. 1. Power off. 2. Replace the failed hard drive with a new one that is of equal or greater capacity. 3.
