Creating a Performance Array
Use this setting to create a Striped (RAID 0) array. FastTrak S150 TX2plus
enables you to create striped arrays with 1, 2, 3, or 4 drives. These arrays have
no fault tolerance.
To create an array for best performance, follow these steps:
1. Press the Spacebar to choose Performance under the Optimize Array for
section.
2. Press Ctrl-Y to Save and create the array.
3. Reboot your system.
4. Once the array has been created, you will need to FDISK and format the
array as if it were a new single hard drive.
5. Once the arrayed drives have been formatted, proceed to Chapter 4 of this
Manual to install your operating system and/or FastTrak driver.
