1. IntroductionofRAID
Thismotherboardadoptsa chipsetthatsupportsRAID.
Theterm“RAID”standsfor“RedundantArrayofInde-
pendentDisks”,whichisamethodofcombiningtwoor
moreharddiskdrivesintoonelogicalunit.Foroptimal
performance,pleaseinstallidenticaldrivesofthesame
modelandcapacitywhencreatingaRAIDset.Thefol-
lowingarecommonexamplesofRAID.Pleasereferto
theusermanualforthetypesofRAIDyourmotherboard
supports,andnoticethatotherrequirementssuchasa
RAIDsupportingdiskdriveandoperatingsystemare
alsocrucialforcreatingaRAIDvolume.
RAID 0 (Data Striping)
RAID0iscalleddatastripingthatoptimizes
twoidenticalharddiskdrivestoreadand
writedatainparallel,interleavedstacks.
Itwillimprovedataaccessandstorage
sinceitwilldoublethedatatransferrateof
asinglediskalonewhilethetwoharddisks
performthesameworkasasingledrive,
butatasustaineddatatransferrateandit
hasnofaulttolerance.
RAID 1 (Data Mirroring)
RAID1iscalleddatamirroringthatcopies
andmaintainsanidenticalimageofdata
fromonedrivetoaseconddrive.Itpro-
videsdataprotectionandincreasesfault
tolerancetotheentiresystemsincethe
diskarraymanagementsoftwarewilldirect
allapplicationstothesurvivingdriveasit
containsacompletecopyofthedatainthe
otherdriveifonedrivefails.
