Configuring a RAID Array
Certain VAIO ® computers are available for purchase as RAID-0 or RAID-ready. The number of preinstalled S-ATA hard disk
drives can vary, depending on the hardware configuration purchased. See your computer's specification sheet for details
about your specific hardware configuration.
If you purchase a RAID-0 computer:
 You can change the RAID-0 configuration to RAID-1.
 You can remove RAID configuration completely and use each individual drive separately.
If you purchase a RAID-ready computer:
 You can install an additional drive(s) 1 and set up a RAID-0 or RAID-1 configuration.
 You can choose to use any additional drive(s) as a separate drive, without RAID configuration.
Install identical S-ATA hard disk drives, when possible. If you install drives that vary in size, not all space on the larger
drive is available for use. For more information, see RAID-0 limitations or RAID-1 limitations .
