6.1 Setting up RAID

The motherboard supports the following SATA RAID solutions:

with RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5 support (for Windows OS only).

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

RAID 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

existing drive and a new drive for this setup. The new drive must be of the same
