RAID Creation
To configure the software RAID on the HDD-8261, complete the following steps. The module
uses the Marvell SATA controller, which does not have a built-in hardware RAID. Instead, you
must build the RAID volume using the OS software.
Note
The HDD-8261 drivers must be installed for Windows to see the drives.
Note
Back up your data before you configure the software RAID.
