4. Create RAID via allows you to select between the different creation
methods for RAID 0 and RAID 1. The following table gives examples of
when each is appropriate.
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
only restart it from Adaptec Storage Manager - Browser Edition. (See
Chapter 4 for details.)
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.
During a build operation however, only the smaller drive can be
selected as the source or first 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.
