SiS966/966L SATA RAID Setup Guide
3
RAID 0+1
: Also known as “StripeMirror”. At least four hard drivers are re-
quired. RAID 0+1 is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1. Data is striped into
two drives then mirrored. It provides high performance and high data protec-
tion. This is a costly solution as RAID 1 because the two mirrored drives
represent an expensive insurance
4
JBOD:
(Just a Bunch of Drives). Also known as “Spanning”. Two or more hard
drives are required. Several hard disk types configured as a single hard disk.
The hard drives are simply hooked up in series. This expands the capacity of
your drive and results in a useable total capacity. However, JBOD will not
increase any performance or data security.
