Drive Format

My Book World Edition is a single-drive configuration. My Book World Edition II is a
dual-drive system that is pre-configured to RAID 1 (Mirrored) mode for extra data
protection. If one drive fails in RAID 1, the system will still run, and your data will be
preserved. You can replace the failed drive and restore the system. My Book World
Edition II also supports RAID 0 (Striped) mode for maximum capacity and
accelerated performance. For more information, including instructions on changing
the RAID configuration for My Book World Edition II, see "Volumes and RAID
Management" on page 93.
