Adaptec SATA RAID Utility for Intel ICH7R
Q
quick init
An array initialized using the Quick Init option is available immediately, with no on-
going background controller activity. All data written to an array that has been quick
initialized is protected.
R
RAID
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (alternative definition Redundant Array of
Inexpensive Disks).
RAID 0
A
single-level array
consisting of two or more equal-sized segments residing on
different disks. RAID 0 distributes data evenly across its respective drives in equal-
sized sections called
stripe
s. RAID 0 arrays are not redundant.
RAID 1
Single-level array consisting of two equal segments residing on two different drives.
Provides redundancy by storing identical copies on two drives. See also
mirrored
array/mirroring
.
RAID signature
The area on each disk reserved for use by the RAID controller.
RAID volume
Concatenates two or more arrays of the same type.
r ebuild
Background regeneration of redundant data on a RAID 1.
r edundant
The ability of an array to maintain operability when one or more hardware failures
occur. RAID 1 is redundant. In the event of a drive failure, redundant arrays can be
restored to normal operation by replacing the failed drive and rebuilding the array.
r e sc an
Process of updating the current screen to show all currently available resources.
S
Serial ATA (SATA)
A successor to ATA that uses a serial, instead of parallel, interface.
simple v olume
A volume made up of disk space from a single disk. It can consist of a single region on
a disk or concatenated, multiple regions of the same disk.
