Reconfigure RAID
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) refers to the combining of two
or more independent hard disks working in parallel to form a single logical
array that stores data along with additional redundancy information.
Sony recommends using the Intel Matrix Storage Driver/Console to manage
your RAID array.
• If you already have this program installed on your computer, go to Intel
Matrix Storage Console. See page 16.
• If you do not have this program installed on your computer, download and
install the program before continuing.
