Creating RAID Sets
As previously discussed, the Silicon Image SATA host adapter supports RAID 0, 1,
5, 10, and JBOD configurations. The selection of the RAID level to be used should
be based upon factors including performance, data security, and number of drives
available. It is best to carefully consider the long-term role of the system and plan
the data storage strategy appropriately.
Silicon Image has made the creation of RAID sets very simple. They can be cre-
ated either automatically or to allow the greatest flexibility, manually.
1. Select “Create RAID set”
2. Choose a RAID 0 Striped, a RAID 1 Mirrored, a RAID 5 Parity, or a RAID 10
combination set.
3. Select Automatically or Manually configuration of the RAID Set.
