RAID configurations
If your device supports Intel® Rapid Storage Technology, you can create
RAID 0 or RAID 1 configurations.
RAID definitions
RAID 0 (Data striping) optimizes two identical storage devices to
read and write data in parallel, interleaved stacks. Two storage devices
perform the same work as a single drive but at a sustained data transfer
rate, double that of a single storage device alone, thus improving data
access and storage. Use of two new identical storage devices is required
for this setup.
RAID 1 (Data mirroring) copies and maintains an identical image of
data from one drive to a second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array
management software directs all applications to the surviving drive
as it contains a complete copy of the data in the other drive. This RAID
configuration provides data protection and increases fault tolerance
to the entire system. Use two new drives or use an existing drive and
a new drive for this setup. The new drive must be of the same size or
larger than the existing drive.
