Creating a Performance Array

Use this setting to create a Striped (RAID 0) array. FastTrak S150 TX4 enables
you to create striped arrays with 1, 2, 3, or 4 drives. These arrays have no fault
tolerance.

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 this

Manual to install your operating system and/or FastTrak driver.
