Prepare the following before setting up your Serial ATA hard disks in RAID or AHCI mode:
1. An operable computer with a floppy drive (to create a SATA RAID/AHCI driver diskette).
2. The Device Drivers & Utilities + User's Manual CD-ROM (WinXP).
3. An external USB floppy disk drive.
4. The Microsoft Windows OS CD.
5. A prepared formatted blank 3.5" 1.44MB floppy diskette.
6. The second hard disk (required for RAID but not required for AHCI) installed in the optional device drive bay
(see page 6 - 3).
A Mirrored Array (RAID 1) provides full data protection, as data can simply be copied from
a healthy disk to a replacement for any failed disk.
A Striped Array (RAID 0) is NOT fault-tolerant. The failure of one drive will result in the loss
of all data in the array. It is designed to increase disk performance by spreading the I/O load
across the channels and drives.
