ASUS P5BV -M 5-1 5.1 Setting up RAID The Inte l ® IC H7R So uthb ridg e c hip co mes w ith th e L SI Log ic Em bedde d SA T A RAID Utility and the Intel ® Matrix Storage Manager . These utilities support SA T A hard disk drives and allow creation of RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 1-E conguration. 5.1.1 RAID denitions RAID 0 (Data striping) optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write data in parallel, interleaved stacks. T wo 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 dri ve to a s econd d rive. If one driv e f ails, the di sk arr ay man ageme nt soft ware di rec ts al l a ppl ica tio ns to t he su rvi vin g d riv e as i t c ont ain s a com ple te co py of the data in the other drive. This RAID conguration provides data protection and i nc re as es f au lt to le ra nc e t o t h e e nt i re s ys te m. U se tw o ne w d ri ve s or u s e a n 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 1-E (Enhanced RAID 1) has a striped layout with each stripe unit having a secondary (or alternate) copy stored on a different disk. Y ou can use three or more hard disk drives for this conguration. RAID 0 1 is data striping and data mirroring combined without parity (redundancy data) having to be calculated and written. With the RAID 0 1 conguration you get all the benets of both RAID 0 and RAID 1 congurations. Use four new hard disk drives or use an existing drive and three new drives for this setup. If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created RAID set, copy rst the RAID driver from the support CD to a oppy disk before you install an operating system to the selected hard disk drive.
