Creating a RAID system with the Intel Manager

With this method, the RAID system is set up with the Intel Manager. A key advantage of this method is that the image does not have to be reloaded. The Intel Manager is already pre-installed on the device. For industrial PCs with Intel Core I CPUs up to and including the 7th generation, the Intel Rapid Storage Manager is installed on your device. The Intel Optane Memory and Storage Manager is installed for industrial PCs with Intel Core I CPUs from the 9th generation.
