Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A Installation and User’s Guide
Create and duplicate
This option allows you to duplicate all the data on the Source disk
drive (disk #1) to the Target disk drive (disk #2).
Note:
The size of the Source disk drive must be less than or
equal to the size of the Target disk drive.
Depending on the size of your disk drive, the BIOS setting can take
several hours to run the duplication. Wait, or press Esc to cancel.
Delete Array
This option allows you to remove a RAID array on your Adaptec
ATA RAID 1200A card.
Note:
After you have made and confirmed this selection, all
the data stored in the hard disk drive will be lost. (The entire
partition configuration will be deleted also.)
Create/Delete Spare
This hot spare function allows you to select the disk to be used as a
spare for a Mirror Disk array or to delete a spare disk from a Mirror
Disk array. If one of your disks in an array fails, you have the
option to quickly rebuild the array using the spare disk.
Note:
You must create a RAID 1 array before you can create a
spare disk.
Note:
The size of the spare disk drive must be equal to or
larger than the size of the Source disk drive.
