							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 correctio\
n 
information. This results in excellent performance and good fault tolera\
nce. 
RAID 10
 uses four hard drives to create a combination of RAID 0 and 1 by forming\
 a 
RAID 0 array from two RAID 1 arrays. 
RAID level comparison
RAID 0 RAID 1 RAID 5 RAID 10
Minimum # drives 2 234
Data protection None Excellent Excellent Excellent
Read performance Excellent OK Good OK
Write performance Excellent Good OK Good
Capacity utilization 100% 50% 67%~(1-1/n) 50%
Using Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Option ROM

model in RAID Level.
4.
In the Disk field, press Enter

 key and use Space key to select the disks you want
to create for the RAID volume, then click Enter key to finish selection. This field
will become available according to the selected RAID level.
5.
Select the strip size for the RAID array by using the  ↑ upper arrow or ↓ down
arrow

 keys to scroll through the available values, and pressing the  Enter key
to select and advance to the next field. The available values range from\
 4KB to
128 KB in power of 2 increments. The strip size should be chosen based o\
n the
planned drive usage. Here are some typical values:
RAID0 -128KB / RAID10 - 64KB / RAID5 - 64KB.
6.
Select the capacity of the volume in the  Capacity field. The default value is the
maximum volume capacity of the selected disks.
 Important
Since you want to create two volumes, this default size (maximum) need\
s to be  reduced. Type in a new size for the first volume. As an example: if you \
want the first volume to span the first half of the two disks, re-type the size t\
o be half of what is shown by default. The second volume, when created, will automatically\
 span the remainder of two hard drives.
7.Go to the Create Volume  field and press Enter, a WARNING message will
appear for you to confirm if you are sure to create the RAID volume. Pre\
ss  Y to
continue.  
						

							Removing a RAID Volume 
Here you can delete the RAID volume, but please be noted that all data o\
n RAID 
drives will be lost. 
 Important
If your system currently boots to RAID and you delete the RAID volume in\
 the IRST Option ROM, your system will become unbootable.

Degraded RAID Array
A RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 10 volume is reported as degraded when one of i\
ts hard 
drive members fails or is temporarily disconnected, and data mirroring i\
s 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 pr\
ocedure below 
that corresponds to the current situation.
