2.7 RAID Migration
The RAID migration feature enables a properly configured PC, known as a RAID-Ready system, to be converted
into a high-performance RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 10 configuration by adding one or more Serial ATA
hard drives to the system and invoking the RAID migration process from within Windows.
The following RAID migrations are supported:
• RAID-Ready to 2,3,4,5 or 6-drive RAID 0
• RAID-Ready to 2-drive RAID 1
• RAID-Ready to 3,4,5 or 6-drive RAID 5
• RAID-Ready to 4-drive RAID 10
Note: All migrations may not be available as each migration is supported on specific platform configurations.
The migrations do not require re-installation of the operating system. All applications and data remain intact.
Refer to Supported RAID Migrations for more information on migrations and the platforms on which each
migration is supported.
2.8 RAID Level Migration
The RAID level migration feature enables a user to migrate data from a RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 10 volume to
RAID 5 by adding any additional Serial ATA hard drives necessary and invoking the modify volume process from
within Windows. The following RAID level migrations are supported:
• 2-drive RAID 0 to 3,4,5 or 6-drive RAID 5
• 3-drive RAID 0 to 4,5 or 6-drive RAID 5
• 4-drive RAID 0 to 5 or 6-drive RAID 5
• 2-drive RAID 1 to 3,4,5 or 6-drive RAID 5
• 4-drive RAID 10 to 4,5 or 6-drive RAID 5
Note: All migrations may not be available as each migration is supported on specific platform configurations.
RAID level migrations do not require re-installation of the operating system. All applications and data
remain intact.
Refer to Supported RAID Migrations for more information on migrations and the platforms on which each
migration is supported.
