Notes:
1. Before adding a new drive to an array, back up any data contained on the new
drive. Otherwise, all data will be lost.
2. If you stop the Build or Clear process on a RAID 1 from ACU, you can restart
it by pressing Ctrl+R.
3. A RAID 1 created using the Quick Init option may return some data miscompares if
you later run a consistency check. This is normal and is not a cause for concern.
*If you select Migrate for RAID 0, or Build for RAID 1, you will be asked to select
the source drive. The contents of the source drive will be preserved, however the
data on the new drive will be lost.
5. When you are fi nished, press Done (as the screen shown below).
