Remarks	* The Taurus Super-S LCM is not designed for a single drive and only works when two hard drives are installed. Hard drives of identical capacities are recommended. If the hard drive capacities are different, the total amount of the space that can be used will depend on the drive with the smallest capacity. # In order for the computer to access volumes larger than 2TB, both the hardware and Operating System need to support large volumes (e.g.: WinVista 32bit/64bit or Mac OS 10.4 and above).

RAID Setup

RAID 0 - Striping : Used where speed is the primary objective, RAID Level 0 (also called "striping") is not redundant, and therefore does not technically conform to the definition of a RAID. This form of array splits each piece of data across both of the drives in segments; since data is written without any form of parity data-checking, it allows for the fastest data transfer of all other RAID levels. However, if one drive becomes damaged, the whole array can become corrupted.

RAID 1 - Mirroring : A RAID 1 creates an exact copy (or mirror) of a set of data on the second drive. This is useful when reliability and backup are more important than data capacity. The available capacity to the user will only be as large as a single drive but when one of the hard drives fails, it can be replaced and the data rebuilt automatically.
