Create a RAID 0 Array
In the Define Array Definition Menu section (see Figure 8), press the Spacebar to
cycle through array types and select RAID 0 for RAID Level. Assign from one to
four drives to this array. Each member of such an array will no longer be readable
as an independent drive if removed from the array. The capacity of the array will
equal the capacity of the smallest drive multiplied by the number of drives within
the array.
Change Stripe Block Size
For RAID 0 arrays, the FastTrak Controller will allow you to change the stripe
block size. The default is 64K. However, certain application environments may
perform optimally with different block size. To change the block size, use the
Arrow keys to highlight the field and the Spacebar to cycle through the available
size selections (16, 32 or 64K).
Assign Drives to a RAID 0 Array
Under the Drive Assignments section, highlight a drive and, with the Spacebar,
change the Assignment option to Y to add the drive to the disk array. Press Ctrl-Y
to save the disk array information. The initial Define Array Menu screen will
appear after you have pressed Ctrl-Y. You will see the array defined. You may
select another Array number to define or you may ESC to exit and return to the
Main Menu of FastBuild.
Set Gigabyte Boundary
For RAID 0 arrays, FastTrak sets the Gigabyte Boundary to OFF.
Save Array Information
Press Ctrl-Y to save the Disk Array Information.
Note
You cannot change the block size after the array has been
created.
