MS-7589 are bound to be more expensive. RAID 10 (Mirrored Stripes) : A RAID 1 array of two RAID 0 arrays. ■ Strip Sizes: Select the desired strip size setting. As indicated, the optimal setting is 128KB. Selecting any other option may result in performance degradation. Even though 128KB is the recommended setting for most users, you should choose the strip size value which is best suited to your specific RAID usage model. The most typical strip size settings are: 4KB: For specialized usage models requiring 4KB strips 8KB: For specialized usage models requiring 8KB strips 16KB: Best for sequential transfers 32KB: Good for sequential transfers 64KB: Good general purpose strip size 128KB: Best performance for most desktops and workstations (2) Select the source disk Then select the source disk that you wish to use and then click "-->" to move it to the "Selected" field. Then click "Next" to continue. It is very important to note which disk is the source disk (the one containing all of the information to be migrated) and which one is the target disk. On a RAID Ready system, this can be determined by making a note during POST of which port the single disk is attached to. You can also use the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition utility before the second disk is installed to verify the Port and serial number of the drive that contains all the data. B-19

RAID 10 (M±rrored Str±pes) :
A RAID 1 array of two RAID 0 arrays.
Str±p S±zes:
Select the des±red str±p s±ze sett±ng. As ±nd±cated, the opt±mal sett±ng ±s 128KB. Se-
lect±ng any other opt±on may result ±n performance degradat±on. Even though 128KB
±s the recommended sett±ng for most users, you should choose the str±p s±ze value
wh±ch ±s best su±ted to your spec±fic RAID usage model. The most typ±cal str±p s±ze
sett±ngs are:
4KB: For spec±al±zed usage models requ±r±ng 4KB str±ps
8KB: For spec±al±zed usage models requ±r±ng 8KB str±ps
16KB: Best for sequent±al transfers
32KB: Good for sequent±al transfers
64KB: Good general purpose str±p s±ze
128KB: Best performance for most desktops and workstat±ons
(2) Select the source d±sk
Then select the source d±sk that you w±sh to use and then cl±ck “-->” to move ±t to the
“Selected” field. Then cl±ck “Next” to cont±nue.
It ±s very ±mportant to note wh±ch d±sk ±s the source d±sk (the one conta±n±ng all of the
±nformat±on to be m±grated) and wh±ch one ±s the target d±sk. On a RAID Ready system,
th±s can be determ±ned by mak±ng a note dur±ng POST of wh±ch port the s±ngle d±sk ±s
attached to.
You can also use the Intel Appl±cat±on Accelerator RAID Ed±t±on ut±l±ty before the second
d±sk ±s ±nstalled to ver±fy the Port and ser±al number of the dr±ve that conta±ns all the
data.
