TOSHIBA RAID

TOSHIBA RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) realizes high

performance or fault tolerance, which are configured by arraying multiple

independent hard disk drives.
2 hard disk drives can be used to construct a RAID configuration

(RAID-1: mirroring or RAID-0: Striping).
When using RAID-1 (mirroring), the data is stored twice (once on each of

the HDDs) so that even if there are problems with one of the hard disk

drives, the other hard disk drive can be used to recover the data.
Please refer to the TOSHIBA RAID help for details.

By changing this setting you are reconfiguring your hard disk.

In which case, all data and programs in the hard disk, including the

operating system (e.g. Windows), will be erased.

If you have data on the hard drive that you wish to keep, make a

backup of that data onto external media (such as a CD) now.

You will not be able to create recovery discs, nor access any data from

the hard disk after reconfiguring your hard disk.

A power-on password can help restrict access to your data.

It can also help restrict access to System Setup, where some of your

computer’s configuration settings are kept.

If you do not have a power-on password set, someone with access to it

could (i) set a power-on password, locking you out of your own

computer, or (ii) change your configuration settings, which could result

in data loss.

We recommend that you consider using a power-on password.
