GigaRAID (IT8212) ATA RAID Controller USER'S MANUAL Totally, there are five configurations supported: RAID level/Type Configurations RAID 0 Disk Striping RAID 1 Disk Mirroring RAID 0+1 Disk Striping + Mirroring JBOD Disk Concatenation Normal None Number of disks needed 2 or 3 or 4 2 4 2 or 3 or 4 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 Setup Array for RAID 0: The GigaRAID (IT8212) ATA RAID Controller allows you to use two, three or four hard drives to set a RAID 0 (stripe) array. All the hard drives attached on the controller will be set as array 0. When you create a striped array, files are broken into 64k (stripe size) and stripes are sent to each disk in the array. Selecting RAID 0 can increase data transfer rate and allow the best overall performance characteristics because of giving up redundancy. 12

Setup Array for RAID 0:
The GigaRAID (IT8212) ATA RAID Controller allows you to use two, three or four
hard drives to set a RAID 0 (stripe) array. All the hard drives attached on the
controller will be set as array 0. When you create a striped array, files are broken into
64k (stripe size) and stripes are sent to each disk in the array. Selecting RAID 0 can
increase data transfer rate and allow the best overall performance characteristics
because of giving up redundancy.
