Matrix RAID (Two Volumes Per Array) R 5 Matrix RAID (Two Volumes Per Array) Intel innovation continues with the introduction of Matrix RAID, which combines the benefits of RAID 0 performance and RAID 1 protection on two hard drives. For example, games and video editing can benefit from improved performance by being stored on a RAID 0 volume; at the same time, valuable personal photos and financial records can be better protected from a drive failure by being stored on the RAID 1 volume. Matrix RAID provides better data protection than RAID 0 alone. It does this by providing a second volume of RAID 1 storage, where data can be protected from a single hard drive failure. Additionally, Matrix RAID provides greater total storage capacity and improved performance than is provided by RAID 1 alone. Figure 3. Matrix RAID Minimum Disks: 2 Advantage: Combines benefits of RAID 0 and RAID 1 on two hard drives. Data Protection: Data stored on the RAID 1 volume is redundant and remains accessible in the event of a single hard drive failure. Application: Matrix RAID is an option for advanced users who desire increased capacity and performance while still protecting some data from a single hard drive failure. User's Manual 17

Matrix RAID (Two Volumes
Per Array)
Intel innovation continues with the introduction of Matrix RAID, which combines the benefits of
RAID 0 performance and RAID 1 protection on two hard drives. For example, games and video
editing can benefit from improved performance by being stored on a RAID 0 volume; at the same
time, valuable personal photos and financial records can be better protected from a drive failure
by being stored on the RAID 1 volume.
Matrix RAID provides better data protection than RAID 0 alone. It does this by providing a
second volume of RAID 1 storage, where data can be protected from a single hard drive failure.
Additionally, Matrix RAID provides greater total storage capacity and improved performance
than is provided by RAID 1 alone.

Minimum Disks:

Advantage:
Combines benefits of RAID 0 and RAID 1 on two hard drives.
Data Protection:
Data stored on the RAID 1 volume is redundant and remains accessible in
the event of a single hard drive failure.
Application:
Matrix RAID is an option for advanced users who desire increased capacity
and performance while still protecting some data from a single hard drive failure.
