Creating a Performance Array

FastTrak S150 TX4 enables you to create striped or mirrored arrays with 1, 2, 3,

To create an array for best performance, follow these steps:
1. Press the Spacebar to choose Performance under the Optimize Array for
section.
2. Press Ctrl-Y to Save and create the array.
3. Reboot your system.
4. Once the array has been created, you will need to FDISK and format the
array as if it were a new single hard drive.

User Manual on the software CD to install your operating system and/or
FastTrak driver.
