TOSHIBA RAID
TOSHIBA RAID provides the RAID function.
2 hard disk drives can be used to construct a RAID configuration
(RAID-1: mirroring).
When using RAID-1 (mirroring), the data is stored on 2 HDDs so that even
if there are problems with one of the hard disk drive, 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 not yet done so, launch the Recovery Disc Creator and
create the recover discs now.
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.
