Value-Added Software Your PCI Express Card is bundled with Silicon Image's SATA RAID5™ software, which enhances your data storage by combining advanced RAID 1 features typically seen on high-end data systems with low-cost/high-capacity Serial ATA drives. By using industry-standard SATA drives and Silicon Image Host Bus Adapters, you can save money while protecting your data against hardware failure. RAID technology allows one or more disks to be combined into a logical volume. This provides greater performance and/or protection than standard disk drives. These volumes, also known as RAID Groups, appear like regular disk drives to the operating system and can be partitioned, formatted, and used just like any other normal disk. The complexity of the RAID is hidden within the driver. There are several different methods of combining disks, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Each method is assigned a RAID level (e.g., RAID 1, RAID 5). Detailed information about each level is provided in the full manual located on your CD under "Storage Management Manual". 1 2 3 4 5 6 EN 9 4969ea_F5U521ea.indb 9 14/3/06 4:42:43 pm

Your PCI Express Card is bundled with Silicon Image’s
SATA RAID5
software, which enhances your data storage
by combining advanced RAID 1 features typically seen on
high-end data systems with low-cost/high-capacity Serial
ATA drives. By using industry-standard SATA drives and
Silicon Image Host Bus Adapters, you can save money while
protecting your data against hardware failure.
RAID technology allows one or more disks to be combined
into a logical volume. This provides greater performance
and/or protection than standard disk drives. These volumes,
also known as RAID Groups, appear like regular disk drives
to the operating system and can be partitioned, formatted,
and used just like any other normal disk. The complexity of
the RAID is hidden within the driver.
There are several different methods of combining disks, each
with its own advantages and disadvantages. Each method
is assigned a RAID level (e.g., RAID 1, RAID 5). Detailed
information about each level is provided in the full manual
located on your CD under “Storage Management Manual”.
