Creating a Performance Array 

FastTrak S150 TX4 enables you to create striped or mirrored arrays with 1, 2, 3, 
or 4 drives. 

To create an array for best performance, follow these steps: 

1.  Press the Spacebar to choose 

Performance

 under the Optimize Array for 

section. 

2.  Press Ctrl-Y to Save and create the array. 
3.  Reboot your system. 
4.  Once the array has been created, you will need to FDISK and format the 

array as if it were a new single hard drive. 

5.  Once the arrayed drives have been formatted, proceed to Chapter 4 of the 

User Manual

 on the software CD to install your operating system and/or 

FastTrak driver.
