operating system. To set up a highly efficient RAID system with the ST7610, please refer

use the OS utility to provide a RAID configuration. However, it is possible to convert

portable external hard disk drives to dynamic hard disk drives by changing the OS

parameters. Unless you are an MIS or related engineer, please DO NOT arbitrarily change

Microsoft related parameters to avoid any OS damage or boot failure.

Please be careful when connecting the computer with USB. It is not recommend using the

OS configuration to set up an RAID.
