Intel® Integrated RAID Controller SRCS14L 4.3.8 4.3.9 Background Initialization and Instant Availability The initialization of RAID array drives is done in the background. Array drives have a status of build during this process and are immediately accessible to the host OS if the host OS supports online capacity expansion. There are two build modes available when creating RAID arrays, Non-destructive and Destructive. Destructive is much faster than the standard build mode. When in destructive build mode, the firmware writes a pattern of zeros across all disks. If this build process is interrupted by rebooting the computer, the build process will continue in the much slower non-destructive build mode. PCI Hot Plug The controller supports the PCI hot plug specification for Windows. It supports the hot replace function only. Technical Product Specification 27
