mode (for increased performance or protection). Note
that setting up your solid state drives in RAID mode
needs to be done prior to installing the Windows OS.
Do not change the mode unless you intend to reinstall your
operating system, and make sure you back up all neces-
sary files and data before doing so.

(RAID 1) mode (see Table

Identical drives in a mirrored configuration
