Creating RAID Array

The SATA II ExpressCard RAID is a two channel Serial

ATA controller that supports two Serial ATA hard disk

drives. It is recommended to use identical hard drives for

allRAID configurations,however,it's possible tocombine

hard drives of different sizes and makes. This section

will guide you in setting up a RAID Array.

RAID 0 (Striping)

Striping will erase any existing data on the hard drive.
