NOTE:
1. To reduce the chance of losing data, ALi imposes certain limitations on the
RAID configuration options. Parallel-ATA drives connected on the same
IDE channel cannot be selected as the members of a RAID0 array. Avoid
mixing Parallel-ATA and Serial-ATA disk drives in a RAID0 array.
2. Always use disk drives of the same capacity to create a RAID array. The
excessive capacity of a larger disk drive cannot be utilized because data
stripes are equally distributed across all members of a RAID array.
E.5.2 Create RAID1 Mirroring for Reliability
WARNING!
All data previously stored on the member drives of a RAID configuration will
be destroyed during the RAID initialization process. If “used” drives are used
to create a RAID array, make sure the data has been moved or backed up
before creating a RAID array out of the disk drives.
