Features of RAID-enabled systems:
•
Intel Rapid Recover Technology
- This technology provides full data redundancy by copying data from a designated source drive
(master disk) to a designated destination drive (recovery disk). Data updates of recovery volumes can be continuous or on request.
•
Intel Rapid RAID :
- This technology allows creation of RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 volumes on desktop and mobile
platforms. Data is distributed across two or more disks to provide data redundancy or to enhance data storage performance.
•
Intel Matrix RAID Technology
- This technology allows two independent RAID volumes to be created on a single array. The first
volume occupies part of the array, leaving space for the second volume. The array may consist of two to six SATA disks depending on
the volume types.
•
Native command queuing
- A feature that allows SATA disks to accept more than one command at a time. With multiple disks that
support NCQ, storage performance is increased on random workloads by allowing the disk to internally optimize the order of
commands.
•
Disk capacity greater than 2 TB (Option ROM support)
- This feature supports hard disks and solid-state drives with a capacity
greater than 2 TB that are reported as pass-through devices (available) or used in a RAID configuration. Besides booting from a
system disk greater than 2 TB is allowed, if the version of the option ROM in your system supports this feature.
•
Password-protected disks
- This feature provides high-level security and protection for the data on your disks with a password,
denying access from any unauthorized user.

HDMI 2.0
This topic explains the HDMI 2.0 and its features along with the advantages.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an
interface between any compatible digital audio/video source, such as a DVD player, or A/V receiver and a compatible digital audio and/or
video monitor, such as a digital TV (DTV). The intended applications for HDMI TVs, and DVD players. The primary advantage is cable
reduction and content protection provisions. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multichannel digital audio
on a single cable.
HDMI 2.0 Features
•
HDMI Ethernet Channel
- Adds high-speed networking to an HDMI link, allowing users to take full advantage of their IP-enabled
devices without a separate Ethernet cable
•
Audio Return Channel
- Allows an HDMI-connected TV with a built-in tuner to send audio data "upstream" to a surround audio
system, eliminating the need for a separate audio cable
•
3D
- Defines input/output protocols for major 3D video formats, paving the way for true 3D gaming and 3D home theater applications
•
Content Type
- Real-time signaling of content types between display and source devices, enabling a TV to optimize picture settings
based on content type
•
Additional Color Spaces
- Adds support for additional color models used in digital photography and computer graphics
•
4K Support
- Enables video resolutions far beyond 1080p, supporting next-generation displays that will rival the Digital Cinema
systems used in many commercial movie theaters
•
HDMI Micro Connector
- A new, smaller connector for phones and other portable devices, supporting video resolutions up to 1080p
•
Automotive Connection System
- New cables and connectors for automotive video systems, designed to meet the unique
demands of the motoring environment while delivering true HD quality
Advantages of HDMI
•
Quality HDMI transfers uncompressed digital audio and video for the highest, crispest image quality.
•
Low -cost HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting uncompressed video formats in a
simple, cost-effective manner
•
Audio HDMI supports multiple audio formats from standard stereo to multichannel surround sound
