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
