Creating Your Disk Array

You will now use the onboard FastBuild BIOS utility to create your array using the
attached drives. There are three different scenarios in creating this array. You can
create an array for performance, you can create a Security array using new hard
drives (recommended), or you can create a Security array using an existing hard
drive and a new hard drive.
