6.7 Introduction 

The ALi M5283 SATA RAID chipset can control parallel ATA (PATA) and serial ATA 

(SATA) disks. The ALi controller supports PATA UDMA transfer mode up to mode 6 and 

SATA 1 disk drives. The ALi M5283 also has a cost-effective RAID functionality that can 

increase the data read/write speed and provide protection to data by distributing mirrored 

duplicates of data onto two disk drives (RAID 1). 

 CAUTION! 

A configured RAID volume (which may consist of multiple hard drives) 

appears to an operating system as a contingent storage space. The operating 

system will not be able to distinguish the physical disk drives contained in a 

RAID configuration. 

A.1.1 Precautions 

One key benefit a RAID configuration brings is that a single hard drive can fail within a 

RAID array without damaging data. With RAID1 array, a failed drive can be replaced and 

the RAID configuration restored. 

 WARNING! 

Irrecoverable data loss occurs if a working drive is removed when trying to 

remove a failed drive. It is strongly recommended to mark the physical 

connections of all SATA disk drives. Drive locations can be identified by 

attaching stickers to the drive bays. If a drive member of a RAID array should 

fail, the failed drive can then be correctly identified. 

 

 CAUTION! 

Do not accidentally disconnect the SATA drive cables. Carefully route the
