FastTrak SX4100 Quick Start Guide

Step 3: Install the Disk Drives
The FastTrak SX4100 RAID Controller card supports only Serial ATA hard drives.
For optimal performance, install disk drives of the same model and capacity. The
drives’ matched performance allows the array to function better as a single drive.
If you are striping (RAID 0) for performance, use up to four new drives. If
mirroring (RAID 1) for protection, you can use two new drives OR use an existing
drive and a new drive (the new drive must be the same size or larger than the
existing drive). If you are planning a RAID 5 array, use three or four new drives. If
you are planning a RAID 10 array, use four new drives. JBOD configurations, you
can use one to four drives.
1.
Install the hard drives into the hard drive bays of your system.
Important
If you wish to include your current bootable Serial ATA drive using
the Windows operating system as part of a bootable Mirrored
(RAID 1) array on your FastTrak card, do NOT connect the hard
drive to the FastTrak at this time. You MUST install the Windows
driver software first onto this drive while it is still attached to your
existing hard drive controller.
Caution
Use of removable hard drive enclosures other than Promise
Technology’s SuperSwap is not supported and may result in
performance loss or other undesired results.
