Program Details:
1. Storage System Status
Anytime Intel Rapid Storage Technology is launched, the application opens to the 'Status' area. This is where the general state of health of your storage system is reported, both in the storage system view and in details. Depending on the status, volume creation and management options may be available in order to enhance or repair your storage system.

2. Creating a Volume
You can combine SATA disks to create a volume in order to enhance your storage system. Based on the available hardware and your computer's configuration, you may be able to create a volume by selecting an enhancement goal, such as Protect data under Status or by selecting a volume type under Create. We recommend that you get familiar with the minimum requirements in this section before starting the volume creation process.

3. Managing the Storage System
The 'Manage' area combines the logical and physical view of your storage system. The area displays detailed information about each element that is part of the storage system, such as volumes and disks; the storage system view shows how the selected element relates to others. Each element has its own 'Manage' area which is accessible by clicking any element displayed in the storage system view under 'Status' or 'Manage'.

4. Preferences
System preferences allow you to decide whether you want the notification area icon to display. In addition, you can select the types of notifications you want to receive, such as storage system warnings or errors, and be notified of any reported problems while the application is closed. Both administrators and standard users can change the notification area settings using the application or directly from the notification area. Settings changes are applied on a per user basis, and do not affect other users settings.
