Chapter 3: Use the FastBuild Utility
17
Create an Array Manually
The Define Array (3) option from the Main Menu allows users to begin the
process of manually defining the drive elements and RAID levels for one or
multiple disk arrays attached to the PDC20319 SATA RAID Controller.
Users will commonly create one or two drive arrays with the PDC20319 SATA
RAID Controller, though the card will support a maximum of four arrays. You
may use a single drive in striping mode with the Controller. In this rare scenario,
the card will create an individual array ID but will offer conventional controller
performance depending on the drive type. At a later time, you can add a second
drive to the array and recreate the array to support RAID 1 mirroring.
Note
For most installations, Promise recommends the (1) Auto
Setup for easy disk array creation.
