Chapter 5. Intel ICH6R RAID
Introduction
The optional southbridge SiS964 SATA controller only support two
Serial ATA on two independent ports.
Serial ATA (SATA) is the latest generation of the ATA interface. SATA
hard drives deliver blistering transfer speeds up to 150MB/sec. Serial ATA
uses long, thin cables, making it easier to connect your drive and improving
the airflow inside your PC. The most outstanding features are:
1. Supports 150 MB/s transfers with CRC error checking.
2. Large LBA support for drives over 137 GB.
3. Data handling optimizations including tagged command queuing,
elevator seek and packet chain command.
Serial/Ultra ATA RAID function supports striping (RAID 0), mirroring (RAID 1)
and span (JBOD).
Please note that the function supports hard disk
drives only.
With striping, identical drives can read and write data in parallel to increase
performance. Mirroring increases read performance through load balanc-
ing and elevator sorting while creating a complete backup of your files.
Span would increase the logic hard disk space.
