Managing Arrays - Adaptec 1420SA Installation And User Manual

Notes:
Before adding a new drive to an array, back up any data
contained on the new drive. Otherwise, all data will be
lost.
If you stop the Build or Clear process on a RAID 1 from
ACU, you can restart it by pressing Ctrl+R.
A RAID 1 created using the Quick Init option may return
some data miscompares if you later run a consistency
check. This is normal and is not a cause for concern.
The ACU allows you to use drives of different sizes in a
RAID 1. However, during a build operation, only the
smaller drive can be selected as the source drive.
When migrating from single volume to RAID 0,
migrating from a larger drive to a smaller drive is
allowed. However, the destination drive must be at least
half the capacity of the source drive.
Adaptec does not recommend that you migrate or build
an array on Windows dynamic disks (volumes), as it will
result in data loss.
5 When you are finished, press Done.
