A780L3B CHAPTER 4: RAID FUNCTIONS 4.1 OPERATING SYSTEM Supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. z 4.2 RAID ARRAYS RAID supports the following types of RAID arrays: RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for many applications. RAID 1: RAID 1 defines techniques for mirroring data. RAID 10: RAID 10 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1. 4.
Motherboard Manual RAID 1: Every read and write is actually carried out in parallel across 2 disk drives in a RAID 1 array system. The mirrored (backup) copy of the data can reside on the same disk or on a second redundant drive in the array. RAID 1 provides a hot-standby copy of data if the active volume or drive is corrupted or becomes unavailable because of a hardware failure.
A780L3B RAID 10: RAID 1 drives can be stripped using RAID 0 techniques. Resulting in a RAID 10 solution for improved resiliency, performance and rebuild performance. Features and Benefits - - Drives: Minimum 4, and maximum is 6 or 8, depending on the platform. Benefits: Optimizes for both fault tolerance and performance, allowing for automatic redundancy. May be simultaneously used with other RAID levels in an array, and allows for spare disks.
