Page 233: Toshiba Raid
Appendix D TOSHIBA RAID TOSHIBA RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) realizes high performance or fault tolerance, which are configured by arraying multiple independent hard disk drives. 2 hard disk drives can be used to construct a RAID configuration (RAID-1: mirroring or RAID-0: Striping).
Page 234: Setting Up Windows Manually
Creating the TOSHIBA RAID Driver Floppy Disk 1. Connect the USB floppy disk drive (optional) and insert a floppy disk. 2. Locate the TOSHIBA RAID Driver in the Tools & Drivers Depository on your hard disk drive (“C:\TOOLSCD\RAID driver” folder).
Page 235 Therefore, to ensure that such situations do not happen, perform RAID-1 media checks regularly. The TOSHIBA RAID Console is set by default to perform media checks once a month. ■ When using RAID-0 (Striping) configuration, the size seen by the OS is twice that of the smaller of the two HDD units in the RAID configuration.
