Hi all,<br />
<br />
We've got a server that has a RAID 10 on there and have partitioned the volume into 2, one partition has the OS on it and the other has the data but we've put in a RAID1 pair of SSD's so i was planning on creating the RAID and then cloning the OS onto the new RAID but then how do i get the server to boot from the new drives instead of the current partition ? It's a Dell Poweredge running 2012 R2 ?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
<br />

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks.

RAID is data storage technology that allows multiple drives to be used together as a single virtual drive for reasons such as fault tolerance, reliability and performance. 

There are several different levels of RAID that determine how the data is stored and the level of redundancy achieved across the drives.

RAID

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
