7 Frequently asked questions
Can more than one RAID volume be installed on a
computer?
No, there can only be one RAID volume on a computer.
Is RAID supported to allow both RAID 0 and RAID 1 on a
single RAID volume?
No.
Can the computer be undocked if the recovery hard drive
is in the docking station SATA-swappable bay?
Yes. If the “Continuous update” policy is selected, data is automatically copied to the docking station's
recovery drive when the computer is re-docked. If the “Update on request” policy is selected, you
must follow the normal procedure to copy data to the recovery hard drive when the computer is re-
docked.
Can SRT be enabled in AHCI mode?
No. Smart Response Technology requires that the SATA mode is set to RAID mode to enhance the
system's performance. You must first disable SRT, and then select Set to Available in order for the
computer to boot in AHCI mode.
What is the maximum number of hard drives that can be
connected to the system during boot when the storage
controller is in RAID mode (f10 Computer Setup)?
This limitation does not apply when the storage controller is in AHCI mode. Once the storage
controller is changed to RAID mode, only 3 hard drives can be connected to the unit during boot up.
After the notebook is booted up, additional hard drives can be connected. This does not apply to
attached USB hard drives.
