Hi, I have a PowerEdge R710 with 4 x 250 Gb, SATA, 7.200 RPM Hotswap drives. OS is Windows SBS 2011. The drives run in Raid 1. One drive with the OS and one drive with data, and the other two drives are then the mirror drives. I want to change the drives to 4 x 600 Gb SAS, 15.000 RPM drives. Jul 05, 2012 Yes, OS X can boot from RAID 0 or RAID 1. RAID 0 works very well to speed things up, but you loose reliability with having the chance for any of the drives in the array to fail. To migrate to a RAID volume: 1 Start up your computer using the Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server installation disc that comes with the computer. 2 When the Installer opens, choose your language and click the Next button to see the Utilities menu at the top of the screen. 3 Choose Utilities RAID Utility. List of all WD firmware and software available for download.
You should be able to delete a RAID 1 mirror without losing data if the RAID 1 volume is:
- The only volume on the array
- The first volume in a matrix RAID configuration
Note | Data loss can occur if the RAID 1 volume is the second volume in a matrix RAID configuration. |
How do I access the data after I delete a RAID 1 volume?
After you delete a RAID 1 volume or reset the hard drive members of the RAID 1 volume to non-RAID, you can access your data with one of the following options:
- If the RAID 1 volume has an operating system, boot to either of the hard drives.
- If the RAID 1 volume does not have an operating system, access your files on either of the hard drives from Windows*.
