SATA RAID
The board supports the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives)
levels via the PCH:
•
RAID 0
- data striping
•
RAID 1
- data mirroring
•
RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10)
- data striping and mirroring
•
RAID 5
- distributed parity
RAID functionality is only supported when using drives connected to the six SATA
connectors (black) from the PCH.
NOTE
In order to use supported RAID features, you must first enable RAID in the BIOS.
Also, during Microsoft Windows XP installation, you must press F6 to install the RAID
drivers. See your Microsoft Windows XP documentation for more information about
installing drivers during installation. Both Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft
Windows 7 include the necessary RAID drivers for both AHCI and RAID without the
need to install separate RAID drivers using the F6 switch in the operating system
installation process.
