22.1 Description
The Intel® Storage Utility is a Windows*-based application that provides management
capabilities and detailed status information for storage devices and RAID arrays.
22.2 Create Volume Manually
The Intel Application Accelerator offers the ability to create a RAID volume manually. This
option should be used if you are using a third bootable device such as an IDE or SCSI hard drive
– in addition to using two Serial ATA hard drives. One benefit of using a third bootable device
and creating a RAID volume manually is that the operating system is not located on the RAID
volume. Should something happen to the RAID volume, the operating system should not be
impacted.
Note: The ‘Create Volume Manually’ option is not selectable unless a third bootable device (such as an
IDE or SCSI hard drive) is installed in the system – in addition to using two Serial ATA hard
drives.
To manually create a RAID volume, click on ‘Actions’ in the Intel Storage Utility file menu and
then select ‘Create RAID Volume’ as illustrated below:
