B. Creating
RAID
Arrays
This section includes examples of using NVRAIDMAN for creating RAID arrays. If your
motherboard is equipped with six SATA / SATAII ports, you may choose to use RAID 0,
RAID 1, RAID 0+1, JBOD, or RAID 5 function with your motherboard according to the
SATA / SATAII HDDs amount you install. Please refer to the RAID functions your
motherboard provides in advance and follow the instruction in this section to create
RAID arrays. The RAID items which may be mentioned in this section are as below:
-
RAID 0: Striping
-
RAID 1: Mirroring
-
RAID 0+1: Stripe Mirroring
- JBOD:
Spanning
- RAID
5
In this section, we take RAID 0 for example to show you how to use NVRAIDMAN to
create RAID 0 (Striping). If you plan to use NVRAIDMAN to create other RAID arrays,
the operation procedures are similar to the steps of creating RAID 0. Please do the
following:
A.
Go to the system BIOS and make sure that the drives that you want to use are
RAID enabled.
B.
Boot to Windows and launch the NVRAIDMAN application.
C.
Create Array and the following screen will appear.
