RAID Setup
Your SATA solid state drives can be set up in RAID mode
(for increased performance or protection).
Note that set-
ting 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 oper-
ating system, and make sure you back up all necessary
files and data before doing so.
To configure your RAID (Redundant Array of Indepen-
dent Disks) system in Striping (RAID 0) or Mirroring
(RAID 1) mode (see
Table 1 ) you will require two identi-
cal solid state drives.
Table 1 - RAID Description
Prepare the following before setting up your SATA SSDs
in RAID mode:
• The Microsoft Windows 10 OS disc.
• An attached external DVD drive.
• Two identical
SATA solid state drives.
• The Device Drivers & Uti User’s Manual disc.
Note : All SSDs in a RAID should be identical (the same
size and brand) in order to prevent unexpected system be-
havior.
RAID Level Description
RAID 0
(at lease two
SSDs
needed)
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 disk drive.
RAID 1
(at lease two
SSDs
needed)
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.
