I recently just broke my raid one array to to check the smart status of both of the drivers. I initially set up the raid for my system in 2008 and everything seems to be intact and working fine so obviously want to restore the raid 1. I went into the option rom (post bios) to restore the raid1 and noticed that I couldent do so with out erasing both of the drives and starting a new "clean" raid1. So I decided to use intel rapid storage technology to migrate the 1 drive to other. My question is. Is there any disadvange to the raid set up in windows vs the option rom? Or is is just the a different way of doing the same thing?
Update turns out the option rom screen updated my raid config from using the windows utility. So basically its just a diffrent way of doing the same thing
Braking your raid was a brave move. Why not just look at the drive properties through the Rapid Storage Interface - which would of reported an error if there was one...
Nice very sweet drives how old are they? If your in the 7 year range heads up I am running 4 500s in my server plus I have 10 black re and 8 blue by WD new in Stock running Unix through the 5 RE as primary's that are looking after a few windows 7 Pro remote work stations the reason I asked I had some black units go down and bad after sometime
IMS hands down plus you are 100% covered by Intel, Intel now is leaping into the major new projects with Samsung and Apple regarding their amazing storage technology
