Introducton
The manboard comes wth the Intel RAID controller that allows you to configure SATA 
hard drves as RAID sets.
SATA hard drves delver blsterng transfer speeds up to 3 Gb/s. Seral ATA uses long, 
thn cables, makng t easer to connect your drve and  mprovng the arflow nsde your 
PC. The most outstandng features are:
Supports 3 Gb/s transfers wth CRC error checkng.
Supports Hot-plug-n-play feature.
Data handlng optmzatons  ncludng tagged command queung, elevator seek and 
packet chan command.
Intel® RAID controller offers RAID level 0 (Strpng), RAID level 1 (Mrrorng and Duplex-
ng), RAID level 5 (Block Interleaved Dstrbuted Party), RAID level 10 (A Strpe of Mr-rors) , Intel® Matrx Storage Technology and Intel® Rapd Recover Technology.
RAID 0 breaks the data  nto blocks whch are wrtten to separate hard drves. Spread
-
ng  the  hard  drve  I/O  load  across  ndependent  channels  greatly mproves  I/O  perfor-mance.
RAID 1 provdes data redundancy by mrrorng data between the hard drves and pro
-
vdes enhanced read performance. 
RAID 5 Provdes data strpng at the byte level and also strpe error correcton  nforma
-
ton. Ths results  n excellent performance and good fault tolerance. Level 5  s one of the 
most popular mplementatons of RAID. 
RAID 10 Not one of the orgnal RAID levels, multple RAID 1 mrrors are created, and a 
RAID 0 strpe s created over these. 
Intel® Matrx RAID Technology  s the advanced ablty for two RAID volumes to share the 
combned space of two hard drves beng used n unson.
Intel® Rapd Recover Technology utlzes RAID 1 functonalty to copy data from a des-
gnated Master drve to a desgnated Recovery drve. The sze of the Master drve must 
be  less  than  or  equal  to  the  sze  of  the  Recovery  drve.  When  a  Recovery  volume  s 
created, complete capacty of the Master drve wll be used as the Master volume. Only 
one  Recovery  Volume  can  exst  on  a  system.  There  are  2  methods  of  updatng  the 
data on the Master to the Recovery drve. They are Contnuous Update Polcy and On 
Request Update Polcy.
Important
The least number of hard drves for RAID 0, RAID 1, Recovery or Matrx mode  s 2. The 
least number of hard drves for RAID 10 mode  s 4. And the least number of hard drves 
for RAID 5 mode s 3.
