RAID Setup Procedure
The actual procedure for setting up a RAID system will depend on whether or not
your system has UEFI enabled or not, and if you are using 2 * PCIE SSDs with the
Windows 10 OS
installed on one of them.
See below and follow the procedure that corresponds to your system setup:
•
“RAID Setup - UEFI Enabled” on page 6 - 6
•
“RAID Setup (2 * PCIE SSDs) - UEFI Enabled” on page 6 - 11
•
“RAID Setup - UEFI Disabled” on page 6 - 17
No matter which system setup you use make sure you install the
Intel Rapid Stor-
age Technology driver
“IRST Driver Installation” on page 6 - 57
Run the
Intel® Rapid Storage Technology application
to manage your RAID vol-
ume as instructed in
“Intel® Rapid Storage Technology for RAID Systems” on
.

(however
backup up any
necessary files and data before deleting a RAID
, as doing so will result in the loss
of all data on the RAID volumes).

RAID Levels
Array Types
A
Mirrored Array
(
RAID 1
) provides full
data protection, as
data can simply be
copied from a healthy
disk to a replacement
for any failed disk.
A
Striped Array
(
RAID 0
) is
NOT
fault-
tolerant. The failure of
one drive will result in
the loss of all data in
the array. It is de-
signed to increase disk
performance by
spreading the I/O load
across the channels
and drives.
