Drive Formatting—RAID Arrays (continued)
3. Select one of the drives you want to format in a RAID array by single-
clicking the drive symbol or the “name” of the drive (Figure 10). At the
bottom of the window, drive capacity and connection type are listed.
4. Click the RAID tab in the Disk Utility window, select all the drives you will
use to create your RAID 0 (Stripe) array, and drag them into the disk field
(Figure 10). Be careful NOT to accidentally drag in a drive you don’t
want included in the RAID.
5. From the drop-down menus, select the RAID scheme (stripe) and the
volume format, and then type in the name for your RAID volume
(Figure 10).
6. When the Creating RAID window appears, click the Create button; all
of the selected drives will be formatted and the RAID volume created
(Figure 11). Close Disk Utility; your drives are now ready to use and your
installation is complete.
