That means you can't just decide you want a RAID system willy-nilly. Oh no. If you have one of the standard integrated Intel RAID controllers rather than a high-end add-in card, you'll need to have made sure you installed the drivers before you installed your operating system. What's that? You didn't? Well just wipe your entire system and start again, you silly person.

Thing is, though, it doesn't half work. The system that used to take seven minutes to boot up now screams through the process in less than two minutes, which I actually find bearable since I can't make our coffee machine go that quick.

So to keep up with my PC, I suppose I should now set up a distributed coffee-making system where I used (say) five coffee machines in parallel, each with only one-fifth the water and one-fifth the coffee of a standard, single-maker setup. But somehow RAICM -redundant array of independent coffee makers - doesn't have the same ring to it. Added to which, there's no room on the sideboard.
