mirror array

About this tag
A mirror array, also known as RAID 1, is a storage configuration that writes identical data to two or more drives simultaneously, providing redundancy. On WindowsForum.com, users discuss upgrading disks in a legacy Windows Server 2008 R2 system with a mirrored array, including steps like taking a full backup, replacing drives, and configuring the RAID controller. Another common issue involves the System Reserved Partition interfering with setting up a RAID mirror array on a Windows 7 machine, where an IT professional failed to configure it properly. Users also report problems with Intel Rapid Storage Technology and RAID 1 arrays, such as unexpected initialization events that raise concerns about data safety. These discussions cover hardware compatibility, controller configuration, and troubleshooting for mirror arrays in Windows environments.

    Windows 7 Intel Rapid Storage Technology & Raid1 array

    Hi, I put two HDDs on GA P55A-UD4P motherboard in Raid1 type array (on Intel SATA Controller) and they were working fine for quite some time (2 weeks or so). One day, after Windows started up, I noticed a blue icon on Intel RST manager and it says that the array is initializing. What does...
