Intel Serial ATA RAID
Configuration Utility
The on-chip Serial ATA RAID supports the
Stripe (RAID 0) and Mirror (RAID 1) RAID set.
For the striped RAID set, the identical drives
can read and write data in parallel to increase
performance. The Mirrored RAID set creates a
complete backup of your files. Striped and
Mirrored RAID set requires 2 hard disks to do
so.

NOTE: If you want to create a RAID 0 (striping)
array, all the data stored in the hard disks will
first be erased! Please backup the hard disk data
before starting to create the RAID array.
If you want to create a RAID 1 (mirroring) array,
please make sure which hard disk is the source
disk and which one is the destination disk. If
you make a mistake, you may copy the blank
data to the source disk, which will result in both
hard disks becoming blank!
