Using a RAID array to create live backups of physical hard drives is a way for increasing the available capacity of the hard drive. Alternatively, are you willing to sacrifice half of your available disc space for backup? Which kind of RAID is the best solution for a home computer system that has regular power outages that might result in hard disc failures?
Suppose you have been asked by a business to support an older legacy system that they need to stay running. To keep this system running you need to install an extra older hard drive that the company has. The drive is a Maxtor Quantum Fireball Plus AS 20.5-GB hard drive. You want the drive to be the slave drive, and you know that you must change the current jumper settings. The four jumpers on the drive are labeled DS, CS, PK, and Rsvd. The description of the jumpers doesn't tell you how to set the jumpers so the drive is the slave. The documentation is not physically available.
What do you do?
What jumpers need to be set to have the drive function as a slave drive?
How do you know?
