Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, currently existing disk array technology can only be used on general Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SerialAdvanced Technology Attachment, SATA) storage devices.
For NextGeneration Form Factor (NGFF) hard disks, users must clearly make corresponding settings based on hardware conditions and be familiar with the complete steps in order to truly achieve the goal of planning disk arrays. However, due to There are many complicated operation steps and restrictions. Compared with the disk array function of operating SATA hard disk in the past, it is much more complicated, which leads to the loss or damage of system data easily due to negligence or improper operation.

Embodiment Construction

[0026] In the general disk array planning process, often due to the different hardware environment and equipment conditions, and the cumbersome setting steps, it is impossible to let users understand the functions of the disk array through the unified guide instructions. , and it is often necessary to deal with the situation of a single case one by one, which adds a lot of difficulties in use and easily leads to a reduction in the willingness to use it. For this reason, the present invention proposes a method for setting the disk array, which can automatically lead to the final planning of the disk array, thereby avoiding data loss or damage caused by improper operation. In order to make the content of this case clearer, the following special examples are examples that can be implemented according to this case.

[0027] figure 1 is a block diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to figure 1 , the electronic device 10...

Abstract

A method for setting array of disks is provided. A boot firmware is activated such that the boot firmware performs a booting procedure. In a legacy mode of the boot firmware, an extensible firmware interface driver is activated by the boot firmware. A rapid storage technology (RST) driver is activated by the extensible firmware interface driver to perform RAID remapping. A RAID mode is entered after rebooting to set a RAID system. After the RAID system is set completely, an operating system (OS) is loaded.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a storage structure, and in particular to a method for configuring a disk array. Background technique [0002] In addition to the central processing unit, the selection of storage devices is often a major focus for general users when purchasing computer system equipment. Take the traditional hard disk (HardDisk Drive, HDD) as an example. Although it has a large storage space and a relatively low price, it has simple and obvious shortcomings, such as slow access speed, and it is easy to damage the disk reading head due to collision. Corruption, or problems with corrupted tracks. Although Solid State Disk (SSD) does not have the above problems, it has the problem of high cost per unit capacity and the problem of service life. [0003] In response to the emergence and popularization of disk array (Redundant Array of Independent Disks, RAID) technology, most of the basic input output system (Basic Input Output System, BIOS) on th...
