RAID configurations

The motherboard comes with the ITE® _{8212F and the Intel}® _ICH6R

Southbridge RAID controllers that allow you to configure IDE and Serial ATA hard disk drives as RAID sets. The motherboard supports the following RAID configurations.

R A I D 0 R A I D 0 R A I D 0 R A I D 0

R A I D 0 (Data striping) optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write data in parallel, interleaved stacks. Two 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.

R A I D 1 R A I D 1 R A I D 1 R A I D 1

R A I D 1 (Data mirroring) copies and maintains an identical image of data from one drive to a second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array

management software directs all applications to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of the data in the other drive. This RAID

configuration provides data protection and increases fault tolerance to the entire system. Use two new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive for this setup. The new drive must be of the same size or larger than the existing drive.

R A I D 0 + 1 R A I D 0 + 1 R A I D 0 + 1 R A I D 0 + 1

R A I D 0 + 1 is data striping and data mirroring combined without parity (redundancy data) having to be calculated and written. With the RAID 0+1 configuration you get all the benefits of both RAID 0 and RAID 1

configurations. Use four new hard disk drives or use an existing drive and three new drives for this setup.

J B O D (Spanning) stands for J u s t a B u n c h o f D i s k sJ u s t a B u n c h o f D i s k sJ u s t a B u n c h o f D i s k sJ u s t a B u n c h o f D i s k sJ u s t a B u n c h o f D i s k s and refers to hard disk drives that are not yet configured as a RAID set. This configuration stores the same data redundantly on multiple disks that appear as a single disk on the operating system. Spanning does not deliver any advantage over using separate disks independently and does not provide fault tolerance or other RAID performance benefits.
