Description

JBOD (Normal

Mode)

Creates a logical volume for each physical hard drive. Available only

for SATA host controllers that provide Port Multiplier support, and only

available for the top-level node of a cascaded configuration.

SAFE (EZ

Backup)

Creates one volume. One hard drive mirrors the other. The system

automatically restores data redundancy to a SAFE volume when an

offline drive comes back online.

FAST (Super

Speed)

Creates one volume that is striped across two hard drives to expose

double the capacity of the smaller drive.

Partitioning volumes

You have to partition volumes for the hard disk after Fast (RAID 0) configuration.

To partition volumes:
1. Right-click My Computer on the Windows

®

desktop,

and then select Manage from the pop-up window.

2. Select Disk Management.

Right-click the unallocated

space of the disk, and then

select New Partition.
