O performance and provide redundancy in order to withstand the failure of any individual member without loss of data This card provides two RAID Set types Striped RAID 0 and Mirrored RAID 1 Disk Striping RAID 0 Striping is a performance oriented non redundant data mapping technique While Striping is discussed as a RAID Set type it is actually does not provide fault tolerance With modern SATA bus mastering technology multiple I O operations can be done in parallel enhancing performance Striping arrays use multiple disks to form a larger virtual disk aa Disk Mirroring RAID 1 Disk mirroring creates an identical twin for a selected disk by having the data simultaneously written to two disks This redundancy provides instantaneous protection from a single disk failure If a read failure occurs on one drive the system reads the data from the other drive 3 RAID BIOS Installation Creating and deleting RAID sets is a function found in the BIOS During boot up the RAID setting message will appear and pause for a few moments to allow the user to choose what to do This board will act as normal NON RAID card when BIOS not configured for RAID Just proceed to Software Installation section directly If you use traditional parallel ATA HDD make sure your hard drives be set up as master mode before the RAID setting 3 1 Creating Striped Sets RAID 0 1 As the BIOS boots Press CTRL S or F4 to enter the raid bios utility 2
