The RAID migration feature in the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager enables a properly configured PC (known as a RAID-Ready system) to be converted into a high-performance RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 10 configuration. The RAID migration feature also enables the user to migrate from a RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 10 volume to a RAID 5 volume.
If you have a RAID-Ready configuration, you can add any Serial ATA hard drives ne>cessary and then use the Intel® Matrix Storage Console to begin the migration. The migrations do not require you to reinstall the operating system. All applications and data remain intact.
The size of the hard drives determines how much time is required to complete the migration but the system will remain fully functional during the migration process. You can conduct other activities such as using the Internet or running work-related applications during that time. The only limitation is that some disk-intensive tasks may have slower performance during a RAID migration.
