Normal operation

Under Windows the RAID system works in the background, i.e. under the
operating system the user sees a logical drive that is indistinguishable from
a single hard disk. There is no indication that the system is working

Failure of a hard disk

Following the failure of a hard disk, a message appears in the task bar at
the bottom right at each restart or new logon.

Example: Port 0 and Port 1 are each connected to a hard disk; the two

disks together form a RAID 1 volume. If the data cable is
unplugged from the hard disk on Port 1, the following message
appears:

Clicking on the message opens the standard view of the Storage Console.

In this example the hard disk on Port 0 (connection 0) is okay (shown in
green).
