IEEE 1394 and USB ports support plug-and-play and
hot-swapping, which means that your computer will usually
recognize such a device whenever you plug it into the
appropriate port. When you use an IEEE 1394 or USB device
for the first time, your computer will prompt you to install any
software the device needs. After doing this, you can
disconnect and reconnect the device at any time.
Parallel and serial port devices are not plug-and-play. See the
device documentation for detailed information and
installation instructions.
Setting up RAID
About RAID
RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive/ Independent Disks)
lets your computer use multiple hard drives more efficiently.
Your computer supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10.
RAID for performance
RAID 0 lets your computer see multiple hard drives as a single
drive. This type of RAID can increase file access speeds, which
is important if you work with video editing, sound editing, and
high-performance games. RAID 0 is also an affordable way to
increase your total file storage capacity.
