RAID Setup
Your solid state drives (SSDs) can be set up in RAID mode (for increased performance or
protection). Note that setting up your 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 Independent Disks) system in Striping (RAID 0) or
Mirroring (RAID 1) mode (see Table 1) you will require two identical solid state drives.
RAID Level
RAID 0
(at lease two SSDs
needed)
RAID 1
(at lease two SSDs
needed)
Prepare the following before setting up your PCIe SSDs in RAID mode:
•
The Microsoft Windows 10 OS on a DVD or USB flash drive.
•
An attached external DVD drive.
•
Two identical PCIe solid state drives.
•
The Device Drivers & Utilities + User's Manual disc.
All SSDs in a RAID should be identical (the same size and brand) in order
NOTE
to prevent unexpected system behavior.
08
Identical drives reading and writing data in parallel to increase
performance. RAID 0 implements a striped disk array and the data
is broken into blocks and each block is written to a separate drive.
Identical drives in a mirrored configuration used to protect data. Should a
drive that is part of a mirrored array fail, the mirrored drive (which contains
identical data) will handle all the data. When a new replacement drive is
installed, data to the new drive is rebuilt from the mirrored drive to restore
fault tolerance.
