Chapter 5: RAID configuration

5.1

RAID configurations

The motherboard comes with NVIDIA

Quadro FX470 chipset that allows you to

configure a RAID 0, 1, or 5 set using Serial ATA hard disk drives.

RAID definitions

RAID 0 (Data striping)

optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write

data in parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform the same work as a

single drive but at a sustained data transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone,

thus improving data access and storage. Use of two new identical hard disk drives

is required for this setup.

RAID 1 (Data mirroring)

copies and maintains an identical image of data from

one drive to a second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array management software

directs all applications to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of

the data in the other drive. This RAID configuration provides data protection and

increases fault tolerance to the entire system. Use two new drives or use an

existing drive and a new drive for this setup. The new drive must be of the same

size or larger than the existing drive.

RAID 5

stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard

disk drives. Among the advantages of RAID 5 configuration include better

HDD performance, fault tolerance, and higher storage capacity. The RAID

5 configuration is best suited for transaction processing, relational database

applications, enterprise resource planning, and other business systems. Use a

minimum of three identical hard disk drives for this setup.

JBOD (Spanning)

stands for Just a Bunch of Disks and refers to hard disk drives

that are not yet configured as a RAID set. This configuration stores the same

data redundantly on multiple disks that appear as a single disk on the operating

system. Spanning does not deliver any advantage over using separate disks

independently and does not provide fault tolerance or other RAID performance

benefits.

If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created RAID

set, copy first the RAID driver from the support DVD to a floppy disk before

you install an operating system to the selected hard disk drive. See section

6.1

RAID driver installation

for details.
