The SME Server comes by default with RAID1 disk mirroring if you install one or two drives. The server is configured to accept one drive and will function properly. You can verify the RAID1 status from the console. If you later wish to add a second drive, just add it and instruct the server via the console to create the mirror. It will take some time to build so do it during scheduled maintenance. They can be either SCSI or IDE drives.
The SME Server comes by default with RAID disk mirroring. The level of Raid depends on the number of drives installed. The server is configured to accept any number of drives and will function properly. You can verify the RAID status from the console. If you later wish to add more drives, just add them and instruct the server via the console to create the mirror. It will take some time to build so do it during scheduled maintenance. They can be either SCSI or IDE drives, but we strongly advise they are the same size and type.
