The HP FastRAID Option

HP FastRAID uses RAID technology to accelerate the performance of
your PC’s hard drives. Rather than focussing on data protection, as
with server-based RAID technologies, HP FastRAID brings top
performance to your computer.

If you purchased your computer with the HP FastRAID option, an
Adaptec ARO-1130 PCI RAIDport

adapter will have been pre-

installed in the RAIDport connector slot of your PC’s system board, and
configured to provide maximum I/O throughput for your PC’s two hard
drives.

Although your ARO-1130 adapter and hard drives come pre-configured
for maximum performance (RAID 0), you can also configure the
RAIDport adapter and drives to provide protection against data loss
(RAID 1).

To reconfigure your ARO-1130 adapter and hard drives for use with
RAID 1, refer to "Using the ArrayConfig Program" on page 122.
