IEEE 1394 and USB ports support plug-and-play and 
hot-swapping, which means that your computer will usually 
recognize such a device whenever you plug it into the 
appropriate port. When you use an IEEE 1394 or USB device 
for the first time, your computer will prompt you to install any 
software the device needs. After doing this, you can 
disconnect and reconnect the device at any time.

Parallel and serial port devices are not plug-and-play. See the 
device documentation for detailed information and 
installation instructions.

Setting up RAID

About RAID

RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive/ Independent Disks) 
lets your computer use multiple hard drives more efficiently. 
Your computer supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10.

RAID for performance

RAID 0 lets your computer see multiple hard drives as a single 
drive. This type of RAID can increase file access speeds, which 
is important if you work with video editing, sound editing, and 
high-performance games. RAID 0 is also an affordable way to 
increase your total file storage capacity.
