RAID Arrays
NVRAID supports the following types of RAID arrays described in this section:
RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves the disk read and write
times for many applications.
RAID 1: RAID 1 defines techniques for mirroring data.
RAID 0+1: RAID 0+1 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1 arrays.
Spanning (JBOD): JBOD provides a method for combining drives of different s i z e s
into one large disk.

Uses
Advantages
Drawbacks
# Hard
Disks
Fault
Tolerance
RAID 0
Non-critical data
requiring high
performance.
High data throughput.
No fault tolerance.
multiple
None
RAID 1
Small databases or any
other small capacity
environment requiring
fault tolerance.
100% data
redundancy.
Requires 2 drives for
the storage space of 1
drive.
2
Yes
RAID 0+1
Critical data requiring
high performance.
Optimized for both
100% data
redundancy and
performance.
Allows spare disks.
Requires 2 drives for
the storage space of 1
drive
—
the same as
RAID level 1.
4+
Yes
JBOD
Combining odd size
drives into one big drive
Combines and uses
the capacity of odd
size drives.
Decreases
performance because
of the difficulty in
using drives
concurrently or to
optimize drives for
different uses.
Multiple
No
Important
Please note that the companion MSI Driver/Utility CD supports this mainboard
with
Windows 2000/XP
system drivers ONLY. Hence, users cannot install
OS, either WinME or Win98, in their SATA hard drives.
