Creating a two drive RAID 0 data volume

Procedure
  1. Within the Home page select Create Volume to begin the process. The arrow below is pointing to the Create Volume button.
  2. Select the NVMe Devices controller if not already selected. Next select Optimized Disk Performance (RAID 0). Then, select Next to continue.
  3. To configure the volume, you can first specify the Name of the volume. In this example it has been left as default (Volume_0000). Next select two drives available to be included in the volume. Then click Next.
    1. For this segment, we are creating a new volume, select No in response to the statement regarding adding this volume to an existing array.
    2. Select the two remaining available disks for the new data volume.
    3. If the selected drives are on different Volume Management Domains or CPUs, check the box that reads Enable VMD controller spanning. This feature can only be used with data volumes. This will enable selection of additional drives if they are engaged on the system.
  4. Click Create Volume.
  5. Click OK to continue. This will complete the volume creation process.
  6. RAID volume (Volume_0000), the “Properties” pane (right) will refresh to show the current status, properties and available options of the newly created RAID volume.
  7. Formatting and mounting of the volume will still be required within Disk Management just as with any new drive added within a Windows environment.
