RAID : It is recommended for people who play games frequently, use drawing programs and use applications that require high performance.. When the RAMs are insufficient, the device resorts to virtual memory operation over the HDD, which will greatly reduce the processing speed of the device.. If you think about how this will increase performance. In order to make RAID on the device, it must be the same brand and same model.. When there is a dual hdd, two hdds will perform the operation in 5 seconds, which would take 10 seconds for one hdd.. This will double the performance.. Two HDDs will appear as a single HDD. We will need the Intel matrix stroge manager floppy disk for this process.. It can be downloaded from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=&ProductID=2101&ProdId=2101.
