FS-979 User’s Manual System Configuration
SATA RAID Configuration 36
3.2 <SATA RAID Configuration>
The board integrates Intel
®
ICH6R with RAID function for Serial ATA drives, and supports
the configurations below:
RAID 0 (Stripping) : Two hard drives operating as one drive for optimized data R/W
performance. It needs two unused drives to build this operation.
RAID 1 (Mirroring) : Copies the data from first drive to second drive for data security, and if
one drive fails, the system would access the applications to the workable drive. It needs two
unused drives or one used and one unused drive to build this operation. The second drive
must be the same or lager size than first one.
Intel Matrix Storage Technology : This technology would allow you to use RAID 0+1 mode
on only two drives (4 drives needed on traditional RAID 0+1). It will create two partitions on
each hard drive to simulate RAID 0 and RAID 1 . It also can let you modify the partition size
without re-formatted.
For more information of Intel Matrix Storage Technology, please visit Intel’s website.
If you need to install an operation system on the RAID set, please use the driver disk
attached in the package when it informs you to obtain the RAID drivers.
