5. How to set up RAID

Please login and double-click on the Intel RAID Storage Manager Icon:

Select your RAID mode. Please note, that in RAID mode the HDDs will never sleep. You
need to use Server HDDs, which are designed for 24/7 use.

For RAID 1 and RAID 0 you need at leats 2 HDDs, for RAID 5 you need at least 3 HDDs.

Please consider also NOT to use RAID mode and to install all HDDs without RAID and to use
Software RAID like

Stablebit DrivePool

After creating the RAID, you still need to partition the new RAID drive using the Windows Disk Management.
