The RAID migration feature enables a properly configured PC, known as a RAID-Ready
system, to be converted into a high-performance RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 10
configuration by adding one or more Serial ATA hard drives to the system and
invoking the RAID migration process from within Windows.
The following RAID migrations are supported:
Note: All migrations may not be available as each migration is supported on specific
platform configurations.
•
RAID-Ready to 2,3,4,5 or 6-drive RAID 0
•
RAID-Ready to 2-drive RAID 1
•
RAID-Ready to 3,4,5 or 6-drive RAID 5
•
RAID-Ready to 4-drive RAID 10
The migrations do not require re-installation of the operating system. All applications
and data remain intact.
