RAID Ready – Single Drive
RAID Ready arranges individual physical drives the same as if they were
attached to the PC’s motherboard controller. The advantage is that the AMD
SB6xx/SB7xx Controller can accommodate up to four physical drives, more than
most PC motherboards.
Figure 5. RAID Ready deals with individual physical drives
As a single physical drive, RAID Ready does not offer the performance or
security advantages of other RAID logical drives. However, you can create a
backup drive by:
•
Inserting an unformatted physical drive
• Designating an installed physical drive
See “Backing up a RAID Ready Logical Drive” on page 71.
In RAIDXpert, you create, manage, and delete a RAID Ready the same as a
logical drive. A RAID Ready logical drive has only one physical drive. You can
designate from one to four of your physical drives as RAID Ready.
