4 Technical Information The HP FastRAID Option The HP FastRAID Option HP FastRAID uses RAID technology to accelerate the performance of your PC's hard drives. Rather than focussing on data protection, as with server-based RAID technologies, HP FastRAID brings top performance to your computer. If you purchased your computer with the HP FastRAID option, an Adaptec ARO-1130 PCI RAIDport™ adapter will have been preinstalled in the RAIDport connector slot of your PC's system board, and configured to provide maximum I/O throughput for your PC's two hard drives. Although your ARO-1130 adapter and hard drives come pre-configured for maximum performance (RAID 0), you can also configure the RAIDport adapter and drives to provide protection against data loss (RAID 1). To reconfigure your ARO-1130 adapter and hard drives for use with RAID 1, refer to "Using the ArrayConfig Program" on page 122. 94 English

English
The HP FastRAID Option
HP FastRAID uses RAID technology to accelerate the performance of
your PC’s hard drives. Rather than focussing on data protection, as
with server-based RAID technologies, HP FastRAID brings top
performance to your computer.
If you purchased your computer with the HP FastRAID option, an
Adaptec ARO-1130 PCI RAID
port
adapter will have been pre-
installed in the RAID
port
connector slot of your PC’s system board, and
configured to provide maximum I/O throughput for your PC’s two hard
drives.
Although your ARO-1130 adapter and hard drives come pre-configured
for maximum performance (RAID 0), you can also configure the
RAID
port
adapter and drives to provide protection against data loss
(RAID 1).
To reconfigure your ARO-1130 adapter and hard drives for use with
RAID 1, refer to
"Using the ArrayConfig Program" on page 122
