Intel RAID Introduction The mainboard comes with the Intel RAID controller that allows you to configure SATA hard drives as RAID sets. SATA hard drives deliver blistering transfer speeds up to 3 Gb/s. Serial ATA uses long, thin cables, making it easier to connect your drive and improving the airflow inside your PC. The most outstanding features are: 1. Supports 3 Gb/s transfers with CRC error checking. 2. Supports Hot-plug-n-play feature. 3.

Intel RAID Important Since you want to create two volumes (Intel Matrix RAID Technology), this default size (maximum) needs to be reduced. Type in a new size for the first volume. As an example: if you want the first volume to span the first half of the two disks, re-type the size to be half of what is shown by default. The second volume, when created, will automatically span the remainder of two hard drives. ev ic em an ua ls .e u 6.

JMicron 322 RAID Introduction DRIVER BOOSTER MANAGER offers RAID level 0 (Striping), RAID level 1 (Mirroring and Duplexing)and JBOD (Concatenate) for SATA ports on this mainboard. RAID 0 breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives. Spreading the hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly improves I/O performance. RAID 1 provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives and provides enhanced read performance.
MS-7582 RAID Configuration There is an application called DRIVE BOOSTER MANAGER which helps you perform the following tasks of JMicron RAID.
