If you stop the Build or Clear process on a RAID 1 or RAID 10 from ACU you can only restart it from Adaptec Storage Manager Browser Edition See C 4 for details A RAID 1 created using the Quick Init Option may return some data if you later run a consistency check This is normal and is not a cause for concern The ACU allows you to use drives of different sizes in a RAID 1 or RAID 10 However during a build operation only the smaller drive can be selected as the source or first drive When migrating from single volume to RAID 0 migrating from a larger drive to a smaller drive is allowed However the destination drive must be at least half the capacity of the source drive Adaptec does not recommend that you migrate or build an array on Windows dynamic disks volumes as it will result in data loss Caution Do not interrupt the creation of a RAID 0 using the Migrate option If you do there is no way to restart and no way to recover the data that was on the source drive 5 When you are finished press Done C Initializing Disk Drives If an installed disk does not appear in the disk selection list for creating a new array or if it appears grayed out you may have to initialize it before you can use it as part of an array Drives attached to the controller must be initialized before they can be used in an array Caution Initializing a disk overwrites the partition table on the disk and makes any data on
