Using the RAID-0 or RAID-1 Utility
TOSHIBA RAID Console Utility
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
When RAID-0 is configured, the total hard disk capacity will 
appear to the operating system as twice that of the smaller of 
the two hard drives in the RAID configuration. For example, 
when a RAID-0 array is configured with one 40GB hard disk 
and one 60GB hard disk, the computer’s total hard disk will 
appear to the operating system as 80GB  - 40GB + 40GB (NOT 
40GB + 60GB). You cannot use the remaining 20GB on the 
larger hard disk drive.
When RAID-1 is configured, the computer’s total hard disk 
capacity will appear to the operating system as the smaller of 
the two hard disk drives used. For example, when RAID-1 is 
configured with one 40GB hard disk drive and one 80GB hard 
disk drive, the computer’s total hard disk capacity will appear 
as only 40GB to the operating system.
Date of last media check—Date and time when a media 
check was completed. Displays the most recent date that 
a media check or array rebuild occurred. 
Assigned local drive—Local drive letter assigned to the 
array.
