• Setting up RAID 1 on new want 700

  I can't understand how to configure my new HP Envy 700 - 200z for RAID 1. I ordered it with 2 matching records and told me before that I ordered that this device supports RAID 1. PC running Windows 8.1.  Then I converted the readers to dynamic ND, but when I try to put readers to 'mirror' I find that option does not exist. I went into the BIOS and changed from readers (I think it was ACH or something close to that) RAID, but then the PC would not boot into Windows. So I changed the BIOS back, but don't know where to go from here.  I don't know that I must be missing something... You don't know it's important, but I have 16 GB of RAM, two corresponding 1 TB disks, AMD A-10-6700 3.7 GHz, operating system 64-bit Win 8.1. Thanks for any help!

  Hello

  I finally understood how to set up RAID without backup-restore and difficult procedures:

  1. install your new disc from the computer if you have not already - at least 2 of the same size as the original one)

  2 Disable User Account Control: go to control panel - Action Center - change settings (left menu) control user accounts and set the cursor down-> restart required

  3 - Download Intel Raid storage technology to:

  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/confirm.aspx?httpDown=http://downloadmirror.intel.com/23496/eng/SetupRST.exe & lang = eng & Dwnldid = 23496 & ProductID = 2101 & ProductFamily = Software + Products & ProductLine = Chipset + Software & ProductProduct = Intel % C2% AE + Rapid + Storage + Technology +(Intel%C2%AE+RST)

  (This will not install when this OPTION is enabled)

  Reboot - you will have technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology in the taskbar and "All Applications"

  4. in all Applications, locate 'Command Prompt', right-click and choose open with administrative privileges: Type "msconfig" - tab "Startup", check "Safe Boot" and click OK.»

  5 - reboot - enter the BIOS with 'Escape' - change the Drive Options of AHCI RAID BIOS settings - save settings and start

  6 - open "Intel Rapid Storage Technology": under status, you will be able to create a custom volume and to preserve the data on the original disk - drives synchronization process will take time.

  7. when 100%, enter again in msconfig, uncheck the "Safe Boot" and you can restart your pc

  8. you can put UAC in the original position.

  Wow, that's a nice piece of software; I love almot as Linksys Network Magic. Thank you very MUCH for your advice!

  In any case, after the installation of the program from Intel, it shows a RAID array (Volume 0, I think), but still of Disk Management integrated Microsoft shows 'No' in the column of fault tolerance. It seems odd. Maybe another reboot would be useful.

  So bottom line is I feel better, but the contradictory information leaves me skeptical? !! #?

  Yet once again, I appreciate your response.

  To use the Storage Manager, you must create the RAID 1 array after you select the two disks in the Storage Manager Assistant tool. You have already done that. Is there a user manual available for the version that you downloaded on the Intel site. Choose the size of block (typically 32 or 64 kb) and create the table.

• Setting up RAID on pair of internal IDE drives in a Dimension 2400

  I will first say that I do not know if this is possible.

  I have an old 2400 dimension which came with one hard disk of 40 GB. I want to buy a pair of larger disks to put in it and wonder if it's possible for me to create the pair with RAID-1 mirror, even if it would have the top OS? Ultimately, I want to set up multiple partitions and set it to dual-boot Windows and Linux flavor still to be decided.  I don't know yet what readers are compatible with this machine. I am hunting for the specifications for it. I will need to create a recovery media to preserve the Windows XP operating system, the machine was not provided with media.

  Someone on this forum has successfully completed what I'm doing? If you have any suggestions or can tell me all the good links online, it would be more helpful as I am still learning what I need to do to make this happen all. A link to the material sheet Dimension 2400 or compatible drives list would be welcome.

  Feel free to me blowing my lack of knowledge on this, but we must start somewhere and ask questions to find out what they don't know.

  Thanks in advance,

  The BIOS and the IDE controller integrated into the Dimension 2400 will not support RAID.  However, you can add a RAID PCI controller card that accepts SATA drives.  The SYBA-150R comes to mind for example, but a search of RAID PCI controller will be to others.

  The Dimension 2400 is a bit old for this sort of thing, unless you use it as a learning tool.  You might be better off looking for a somewhat newer machine, like a Dimension 9100, already a capable SATA controller for RAID.

  The incorporation of other operating systems is not a problem, provided that the selected OS has a compatible with the RAID controller mass storage driver.  When a RAID volume is established, the operating system simply treats it as if it were a single hard drive; individual readers are invisible.

  For more information on the Dimension 2400, see the following: Dimension 2400 manual repair

• Setting up RAID 0 onboard

  I used the Intel Matrix Storage Manager on my motherboard ASUS to set up 2 of my 5 drives in RAID 0 and now I can't start.  The system disk is not part of the RAID set.  I can boot Knoppix and always see the data on the system drive.  At first I thought I might be able to use the repair function on the Windows 7 installation DVD to rewrite the boot sector, but I noticed that the BIOS lists not all readers when I go to the boot selection sequence so I doubt that would do any good.  Is it possible to set up a RAID Motherboard after Windows is installed, or I'll have to reinstall everything again?

  Roy

  My problem with the BIOS to not booting from a hard drive has mysteriously disappeared.  I was doing notes on all my changes to the BIOS before I made a Clear CMOS for everything reset, and when I got to the boot order, the hard drives were back to the list.  I chose, saved, restarted, and everything goes well (including RAID).  The only thing I can understand is maybe save the BIOS (F10) and restart was not actually save everything and it took a full power down to do it.

• Setting up RAID 1 on 810 Phoenix ENVY

  Hello

  I just got my DESIRE 810-150se with two 1 TB drives.  I expected to be configured to RAID 1, it is configured in RAID 0. I made three calls to HP, but I was not able to get information on how to change the configuration.

  I suspect that what I have to do is to delete the RAID volume, and create a new. I know that will delete everything on the drives. That's fine, but I can't find any way to access the RAID configuration in the BIOS. There is an option under RAID or AHCI storage but I can't find how Manage the RAID array.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  RSchlierbeck

  Update:

  It's mostly the response. CTRL + i does not work on my pc so I was not able to configure the RAID array in the bios. I had to take a path a little more closely.

  The notice on the third drive was really good. Using a third disc allowed me to use the windows utility base Intel. Here's how I did it.

  1. Installing third drive of the same size and start-up in windows. Initialize the drive as GPT.
  2. Reboot into BIOS and disable secure boot.
  3. PC power off the power and unplug the two original disks.
  4. Put the first disc of recovery media (I did the DVD instead of USB)
  5. Boot into the BIOS, and then select start up options. Select the DVD.
  6. Recover on a single disc.
  7. Turn off the power and connect one of the original disks.
  8. Power and start up in windows.
  9. Use the Intel utility to create a new RAID 1 volume and assign the current readers.
  10. Let the utility rebuild the table.
  11. Turn off and unplug the third drive. Plug the second of the original disks.
  12. Power and start up in windows.
  13. Use windows powershell to run diskpart
  14. Select the second disk, and use the clean command to remove all partition information. (http://www.winability.com/delete-protected-efi-disk-partition/)
  15. Run Disk Manager to initialize the disk.
  16. Use utility Intel to mark the disc newly added as a spare for the volume.
  17. Restart Windows and let the RAID Utility rebuild the volume.

  It was a long journey around the block, so to speak, but I was able to create the RAID 1 array and I works fine now. As a bonus, I connected the third drive and deleted from the table so it could be used as an additional drive in the system.

  I'm sure about why you can't manage the array from the BIOS, but using ctrl + i does not work. The utility tries to start, but then the system signals that it is missing or configured incorrectly. I guess that there is a way to get a version of UEFI, but I don't know how or even where to go to find it.

  Fortunately it can all be Windows with the Intel utility. It takes just.

  Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction with this. He did the difference between the maintenance of my new PC instead of having to return and buy a new.

• Setting up raid 1 on dell poweredge r210 ii

  Hi all

  I want to configure raid 1 with 2 x 500 GB sata HDD, I tried pressing f10 when the thumb to the Configuration Wizard of server load when I press on the raid configuration, I got error no. controllers Raid found! ..

  any help please

  Thanks in advance,

  Mandoesam,

  The first thing I would look at is if the Raid is turned on in the BIOS (F2). Access the BIOS, and then under SATA settings, replace the SATA Embedded Raid Mode. You can also turn off the server and reconnect both ends of the HDD cables. After that, then start the cycle of life of the controller (F10) and see if the Raid is now configurable.

  Let me know how it goes.

• ASUS P9X79-e WS Mobo Raid experiences

  This Asus MB is supposed to be one of the best CPU licenses of MB there. Construction and component wise I guess it is certainly in the upper echelons [should be for the price].

  Someone at - it experience to use the on-board Raid facilities provided by Intel or Marvell. This is crucial in my situation and I don't want to buy a Raid card if I can avoid it.

  I'm going to use Raid 10

  Thank you

  LJ

  Well Raid 10 on the edge isn't the best performance and the reconstruction times are longer. However, as long as you have business readers you should be ok. Do not forget that the controllers on board do not handle corruption well at all, especially on raid 10. So make sure you keep your backup data.

• Satellite X 205-SLi5 - can I set both drives in RAID-0 HARD

  I just got a X 205-SLi5... can I raid the two drives together in RAID 0... and if so, how? I can't find any info about it.

  Thank you

  The Satellite X 205 is unclear to me. It seems he series of American s notebook.
  But the Satellite X 200 is known to me and it of very similar to the Sat X 205.

  As much as I know the Satellite X 200 does not support RAID functionality.
  Of course the unit was equipped with two hard drives but these are SATA drives and only the SATA controller is available. as I m not wrong not the RAID does not exist.

  So to shorten this story; You cannot set the RAID-0

• How to set RAID 1 in C200-M1

  Hi, anyone knows how to implement RAID1 in UCS C200 M1?

  Thanks in advance

  Lenin

  Go into the BIOS of the server and disable the quiet start.  Once this is reboot the server and enter the LSI config during the startup process.  I think it's a ctrl-S to enter the config of the LSI.  Once you're in the config of LSI, you can set the RAID level for readers.

• Setting up a host ESXi 5.0 for RAID 1/5

  Newbie: I install VMWare ESXi 5.0 to a new server for the first time.  I want to set up RAID 10 on 8 discs. My problem is that I don't know what configuration point RAID takes place.  Is performed using HP Storage utilties before installing VMWare or is this something I will have the opportunity to make during installation of VMWare?

  Welcome to the community,

  the RAID configuration must be done in the BIOS RAID controllers or through the ACU (Array Configuration Utility) on the Smartstart CD. With 8 disks, you can consider creating a RAID5 RAID10 instead, except that you have special needs.

• Pavilion Elite HPE (HPE-210y): Travel in RAID 0

  Hi all.

  Recently, I upgraded my hard drive of 1 TB to 2 TB. I bought two hard drives of 2 TB because I planned to run RAID 1, but after that I cloned one of the 2 TB drives and removed the old 1 TB, I decided to save in a different way.   I have most of the things I wanted to back upward again on the old hard drive and another method seemed to be a better route. My uses of son for a little game and RAID 1 seemed to be struggling against productive and not as safe.

  So, I'll be able to move my new drive 2 TB in RAID 0 with my other new 2 TB drive even if I use one right now?

  Else consider this computer Noob?

  Hello

  HP's instructions for configuring RAID using the AMD RAIDXpert. Read at least twice.

  Check your BIOS settings and make sure that the SATA is set to RAID.

  I suggest you connect hard drives to ports SATA 1 and 2 (blue and white). Among the old HP AMD motherboards we're picky about which ports SATA would be supported RAID.

  

  BTW - RAID 1 is much more secure that it will provide redundancy in the event of a hard drive failure and RAID 0 won't.

• Should I disable RAID 0?

  I need some advice on what to do with my current system. I use CS4 Prod Prem for editing HD, AVCHD, SD, etc... Here's the question-

  I bought a model tailor-made with -.

  Antec 902 Mid Tower ATX case

  750 watt Corsair power supply w / 140mm fan

  2-120mm fans

  ASUS P6T motherboard

  Core i7 920 CPU

  Kingston V Series SSD 128 GB drive (for Win 7 + the app)

  2 WD Caviar Black 1 TB

  12 GB of RAM (mushkin 4gbx3)

  nVidia Quadro FX 1800 + elemental Accelerator

  +

  I have 4 external USB drives and Firewire 800 attached so player. (Unfortunately they are "mostly" maxed out, but I can always defragment).

  I had initially asked the 2 WD Caviar must be set to RAID 0, but after that I realized that I would have no redundancy I asked just to be put in place as a two-disc single. But they kept in RAID 0 . The RAID is controlled by the ASUS mobo. I think a RAID 3, for now... extended until 30 RAID will be my best option.

  I know I have to get several HARD drives, but I need to know what would be my best option...

  1 should I disable RAID 0 until I can get the HARD drives more so I will lose data? If so, how can I do so that... I need to re - install Win 7 correct?

  2 or, should I just go ahead, get 2 drives more and go with another RAID (x)?

  3. If I get a for RAID 3 RAID controller card, which is my less expensive/more reliable option? I don't think I can swing the Areca of today's high-end cards.

  4 if I go 3 RAID and want to increase the RAID 30, should I run an external RAID Tower instead of internal drives?

  5 If a disk fails, how long do I need to get the new drive in?

  Lost, dazed and confused... Please help!

  1 should I disable RAID 0 until I can get the HARD drives more so I will lose data? If so, how can I do so that... I need to re - install Win 7 correct?

  Win 7 and your programs are on the SSD, so there is no need to re - install Win7. To disable the current raid0, you know how it was setup. This was done in the BIOS by using the ICHR10 or the Marvell chip or he was in the software under Windows? See the user guide in section 4.4 for instructions on how to exit the raid of individual disks.

  2 or, should I just go ahead, get 2 drives more and go with another RAID (x)?

  More 2 internals is always wise, because they are much faster than your USB external courses and are already quite complete. I'll make sure that you get the same model as your current WD Caviar Black. Also make sure that ACPI is disabled in the BIOS, as it can disrupt the reliable functioning of the caviar in a raid. BTW, I'll explain later, but consider getting 3 Caviars instead of 2.

  3. If I get a for RAID 3 RAID controller card, which is my less expensive/more reliable option? I don't think I can swing the Areca of today's high-end cards.

  AFAIK Areca is the only controller card to offer Raid3. Also remember that the purchase of Areca controller card is like buying a tripod head and Vinten or Sachtler fluid. Quite expensive, but they last a lifetime. Now, the Areca may not last a lifetime, but can definitely last two generations of PC.

  4 if I go 3 RAID and want to increase the RAID 30, should I run an external RAID Tower instead of internal drives?

  Not at all, if your case is big enough. For example in my case I currently have 2 BRD burners and 17 disks 3.5 ". If I want I can increase this to 2 BRD burners plus 21 3.5 "disks including 15 hot.

  5 If a disk fails, how long do I need to get the new drive in?

  As I said above, I suggest that you get 3 drives WD CB. You can then configure them in a volume raid5 disks 4 more 1 hot spare. The dilemma is that AFAIK neither the ICHR10 nor the Marvell supports hot-spare parts, you may need a controller Adaptec, nuts of arec or 3Ware for relief assistance. If you don't have the budget for a controller from Areca, then in the future, you may find that the most affordable Adaptec card 3Ware or even Hightpoint (or LSI) have no other use if the time has come for a raid3 card.

  With a hot spare in a raid5 when a disk fails, you can take your time to get a new (to reduce security although until replacement). If a disk fails, you will have reduced performance for less than an hour, perhaps only for minutes, until it kicks in relief. You can easily take a week or even two weeks to get a replacement disc if you can live with the guarantee reduced by not having a hot spare available more.

  With exchangeable cages hot, you gain easy access to all your disks, as for example the SuperMicro CSE-M35T, http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16817121405

  I hope this helps.

• SSDS must be similar in size and type to raid 0?

  SSDS must be similar in size and type to raid 0?  I have a 2009 MBP 2.66 bicoeur.  SSDS are an old sata 250 GB Samsung 850 pro III and an all new Intel 160 GB (320 series) sata II.  The hard drive on the MBP interface is 3.0 GB/s sata optical drive interface is 3.0 Gbit/s

  Different size, different brand, sata II issue III v?

  If it works, it will be almost double the read and write rates, I understand.  I am aware of the increased risk of data loss.  Will only use for backup data.

  How is it difficult to set up raid 0?  I don't know the first thing about raid 0, 1, 2, 3?

  Thank you

  Stu

  If it works, it will be almost double the read and write rates, I understand.

  RAID offers for the SECOND and the following read/write of the same LARGE file acceleration and not otherwise. Any intervention of reading or writing in different files eliminates the acceleration. Any acceleration is much more dramatic on rotating discs, because it can eliminate some of the 10 ms or more long 'dead time' while the reader is a new track and the controller must wait for the correct data go in the position under the read/write head. Acceleration on the low-latency SSDS is far less dramatic.

  The system drive / boot is particularly bad choice for a RAID, it reads and writes small random files in all directions. Who will get no acceleration.

  You can best be served by creating a workflow that allows separate readers for the source files to Destination files, files of zero and drive system / boot.

  --------

  RAID is usually done on the disks that are exactly or nearly the same. Too slow response of one of the discs can cause the RAID failure.

  RAID support has been removed the disc utility GUI in 10.11 ElCapitan, probably because too many casual users got into trouble with the built-in GUI functions. You need to use the diskutil command in the Terminal, or buy the SoftRAID(4) package.

• HP xw4600 workstation: setting up dual boot and BIOS storage options

  I have a HP with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit xw4600 workstation. He resides in the SATA location 0.

  I want to set up a dual-boot option to start Windows or Linux.

  In the BIOS under storage... Storage options must be set to RAID or AHCI? (I don't want a backup RAID configuration. I have cloned my hard drive to another hard drive in the SATA 2 connector, the DVD burner is in the SATA 1 connector).

  It seems that the computer will boot only from the hard drive to the SATA location 0.

  If I disconnect the hard drive to the SATAS location 0 which has Windows 7, I get an error in the message of wiring.

  If I use the boot F9 option, my choice is the hard drive, but I can't specify which.

  I can't find anywhere to change the HDD boot order in the BIOS.

  Any help will be apprecaited because I want to avoid opening the case and cables around switching.
