Understanding the “Define a New Array” Window

Use the Define a New Array window to

• Select the RAID Mode

• Set up the Striping Block

• Specify which disks to use for the RAID Array

The SATA ports are called channels and they are associated with adapters. The first

digit in the Location field defines the adapter that the port is associated with. The 2nd

digit defines the channel.

In the example above, 0.1 means the hard drive is attached to Adapter 0, Channel 1.

The following is a list of all possible combinations:

Serial ATA

0.0 Adapter 0, Channel 0 (SATA1)

0.1 Adapter 0, Channel 1 (SATA2)

0.2 Adapter 0, Channel 3 (SATA3)

0.3 Adapter 0, Channel 4 (SATA4)

Important

There is no such thing as Slave drive in Serial ATA. All drives are considered

to be Master since there is a one to one connection between the drive and the

controller.

Channel

0 . 1
