Creating RAID Array
The SATA II ExpressCard RAID is a two channel Serial
ATA controller that supports two Serial ATA hard disk
drives. It is recommended to use identical hard drives for
all RAID configurations, however, it's possible to combine
hard drives of different sizes and makes. This section
will guide you in setting up a RAID Array.

Make sure you back up your data before striping.
