Hello, I have a DELL XPS 8500 with a 2 TB hard drive and a 32 GB SSD, configured for the 32 GB is cached. I installed two 1TB drives that I will wish to RAID. How to please. thank you
• RAID 0 (default) — Striped disk array with no fault tolerance. Provides data striping, spreading out blocks of each file across multiple drives, but no redundancy. This improves performance but does not deliver fault tolerance. If one drive fails, then all data in the array is lost. Although the system chassis can hold four hard drives, the factory only installs up to three hard drives.
• RAID 1 — Mirrored disk array. Provides redundancy if one of the two drives fails. Provides twice the read transaction rate of single disks and the same write transaction rate as single disks.
NOTE:
The factory only configures and sets up RAID 0 Stripe and RAID 1 Mirror configurations.
It would be great if you can describe which form of RAID you wish to setup. This way I would be able to help you better.

Hi
Raid can be set up two ways:
• RAID 0 (default) — Striped disk array with no fault tolerance. Provides data striping, spreading out blocks of each file across multiple drives, but no redundancy. This improves performance but does not deliver fault tolerance. If one drive fails, then all data in the array is lost. Although the system chassis can hold four hard drives, the factory only installs up to three hard drives.
• RAID 1 — Mirrored disk array. Provides redundancy if one of the two drives fails. Provides twice the read transaction rate of single disks and the same write transaction rate as single disks.
NOTE:
The factory only configures and sets up RAID 0 Stripe and RAID 1 Mirror configurations.
Please reply if you have any further questions
Thanks & Regards
