Use the RAID Configuration menu to view the status of the current RAID configuration, or to change the
RAID configuration.
To view the status of the current configuration, click on the RAID Configuration icon. Basic information
displayed includes the health status of the RAID, capacity and RAID level. There are two possible RAID
types available for the Pegaus2 R2+, RAID 0 or RAID 1.
The two hard disk drives shipped with the Pegasus2 R2+ are configured with a hardware RAID 0. This
type of RAID is excellent for applications where high read/write performance is desirable. However it
does not include redundancy, that is, if one of the hard disk drives fails, the data contained on the RAID
is lost. So it is important to back up all data stored on the RAID 0 drive.
If you prefer to use a mirrored RAID 1 configuration, you need to use the PROMISE Utility to change
the RAID configuration. Follow the instructions here to change the RAID configuration for the two 3.5”
hard disk drives.
