Using the Define a New Array Window
If necessary, press the tab key to move from field to field until the appropriate field is
high lighted.

• Selecting the RAID Mode
Change to a different RAID mode, press the down arrow keys until the mode that
you want appears in the RAID Mode box—either [Mirroring], [Striping], [Spanning],
[Stripe Mirroring] or RAID 5.
Note: Not all RAID levels are supported on all platforms.

• Selecting the Striping Block Size
Striping Block size is given in kilobytes, and affects how data is arranged on the
disk. It is recommended to leave this value at the default [Optimal], which is 64KB,
but the values can be between 4 KB and 128 KB (4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 KB).

• Assigning the Disks
The disks that you enabled from the RAID Config BIOS setup page appear in the
Free Disks block. These are the drives that are available for use as RAID array.
To designate a free disk to be used as a RAID array:
1. Tab to the Free Disks section. The first disk in the list is selected.

Note:

There is no such thing as Slave drive in Serial ATA. All drives are consid-
ered to be Master since there is a one to one connection between the
drive and the channel.
