5 Option ROM Utility The Option ROM Utility supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID5 and RAID10 functions. It allows you to get high performance with fault tolerance, big capacity, or data safety provided by different RAID functions. Here, we will use four SATA hard disks as an example to guide you through how to configure your RAID system. Assume four hard disks are connected to the motherboard : Lower SATA port of SATA1_SATA2 - HDS728090PLA380, 82.34GB Upper SATA port of SATA1_SATA2 - WDC WD1200JD-98HBB0, 120.03GB Lower SATA port of SATA3_SATA4 - Hitachi HDT725025VLA3, 250.05GB Upper SATA port of SATA3_SATA4 - ST3320620AS, 320.07GB WARNING! To achieve the best performance and reliability, we highly recommend you using the hard disks with the same brand, size and model number. Though we are using four different hard disks as an example to describe RAID function in this chapter, it is only helpful in explaining what the final disk volume of the RAID array will be. In the real world, using the same model to build a disk array is strongly recommended. The relationships between port numbers in the Option ROM Utility and SATA ports on the motherboard are shown below. They are : Channel 1 is the lower SATA port of SATA1_SATA2 of the motherboard. Channel 2 is the upper SATA port of SATA1_SATA2. Channel 3 is the lower SATA port of SATA3_SATA4. Channel 4 is the upper SATA port of SATA3_SATA4.
