Verifying your RAID partition

Updated on Feb 19, 2026

I just set my QSX to RAID1 mode. How do I verify that the RAID partition is built correctly?

After you change the dip switches you will need to hit the reset button. After the raid finishes building (Can take up to 4 hours) 2 green lights will be solid on the front of the unit indicating that both drives in the raid are in healthy status.

You should then be able to see the drive on your computer. The RAID partition's capacity will be equal to 1/2 of the total capacity of both drives.

If you would like to view the current status of the build and drives, you can download the SteelVine Manager which will give you live info on the QSX's drives.

Below is the download and corresponding SHA256 Checksum Value.
