If “used” drives are used tocreate a RAID array, make sure the data has been moved or backed upbefore creating a RAID array out of the disk drives.Step 1: Select “Create RAID 0 Striping for Performance”. Use the arrow keys tohighlight Create RAID0 Striping for Performance and press ENTER. A flashing‘S’ appears on the Drive Menu where the member drives to be included in theRAID 0 array can be chosen.Step 2: Select RAID array drive members. Use the space bar to select members of theRAID array. The flashing cursor changes to a lower case ‘s’ once any of theconnected disk drives has been selected. Follow the same method to selectanother member drive.Step 3: Confirm. The Create RAID0(Y/N) confirm box appears. Press Y.Step 4: Name the array. Enter a nickname for the created array. Upper and lower casealphabetic, numeric, space, and underscore characters are all applicable fornaming an array.Step 0:NOTE:1. To reduce the chance of losing data, ALi imposes certain limitations on theRAID configuration options. PATA drives connected on the same IDEchannel cannot be selected as the members of a RAID 0 array. Avoidmixing PATA and SATA disk drives in a RAID 0 array.2. Always use disk drives of the same capacity to create a RAID array. Theexcessive capacity of a larger disk drive cannot be utilized because datastripes are equally distributed across all members of a RAID array.
