![]() ![]() They each have their pros and cons regarding the balance of speed and security. There are 6 different levels (or volume types) of RAID: 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, and 1+0 (10). And it is the volume on the drive(s) that RAID is actually working with. Though the terms “volume” and “drive” are sometimes used interchangeably, it is important to understand that a volume resides on one or more drives. A RAID distributes data across volumes in different ways, depending on the “level” of RAID you choose. The benefits of this are to keep your data safe, to access your data faster, or some combination of both. Simply put, a RAID puts two or more separate drives together to act like one. RAID commonly stands for “Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks,” though it is now sometimes better referred to as “Redundant Array of Independent Drives.” Some advocate for this change in the wording because RAID predates SSDs (Solid State Drives), which do not have spinning disks like HDDs (Hard Disk Drives). We’ll even give you some tips as to which RAID configuration might be right for you. This Rocket Yard guide lays out the basics of RAID in an easy to understand manner to get you started – what it is, it’s different levels, types of volumes, and controllers. Whether it is past archives, existing projects, or future jobs, RAID storage solutions are a vital component to optimizing and protecting your digital work. Previously it would go to 100% utilization frequently when certain programs ran and stay there for several minutes.When it comes to your photos, videos, and other valuable files, you don’t want to skimp on data security and management. I haven't seen the hard drive pegged once. In any case, the computer is performing soooooo much better than with the HDD. Perhaps long duration had to do with disk damage or the third partition which I'm thinking is an ASUS recovery partition? It's showing as 100% free in Windows Disk Manager so I don't think Windows can read it's contents like the 2GB Disk 1 Acronis WinPE environment partition shown beneath it. Is that a setting? I ran the Acronis System Report before restarting in case that's what you meant but foolishly saved it to the source disk rather than the clone so I won't be able to access it till this weekend. Thanks!īefore disconnecting source HDD from USB and rebooting, I looked under Logs in the ATI Linux environment but there was nothing there. All three partitions copied, files seem all there, and every application i've run has worked. It finished between then and 5am and everything looks good so far. All rescue media is capable of booting in both Legacy and UEFI boot modes, so you should see both options in your boot menu list. If you are cloning between two 1TB drives that will be used in the same PC where the clone is being run, then you should check your BIOS settings to either disable UEFI or give priority to Legacy boot options. There have been lots of complaints about this behaviour reported in the forums where systems fail to boot correctly after some migrations, i.e. This is as a direct result of users finding their cloned or recovered disk drives have been migrated to the partition scheme used by the host PC they did the clone or recovery from! By partition scheme, I mean MBR for Legacy systems, GPT for UEFI systems. There is an internal support request in place for: TI-179333 Allow selecting the boot mode (BIOS or UEFI) after recovery/cloning. KB 59877: Acronis True Image: how to distinguish between UEFI and Legacy BIOS boot modes of Acronis Bootable Media The boot mode used by any of the Acronis rescue media is critical and does matter contrary to the advice you have received from Acronis Support! This is confirmed by trying "AS IS" method which results in error message saying the "partition styles do not match"īenjamin, welcome to these public User Forums. Acronis wants to clone this way:Īlso, even though both disks are MBR, it thinks the source is GPT and destination "will be converted to GPT layout that makes the disk bootable". They generate "There may not be enough free space on the system partition to boot up your operating system after disk cloning". No method of cloning has properly sized the destination partitions to match the source even though both source HDD and destination SSD are 1TB. ![]() Is this now the case with the current ATI version? If not, how would I force the Linux USB to boot in proper mode? Saw no option for Legacy when creating it. Acronis support tech just told me it doesn't matter that the Acronis Linux Boot Media loads UEFI but when I run msinfo, my computer says BIOS: Legacy. ![]()
