SATA RAID
The board supports Intel Rapid Storage Technology which provides the following RAID
(Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels via the Intel Z75 Express Chipset:
•
RAID 0
- data striping
•
RAID 1
- data mirroring
•
RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10)
- data striping and mirroring
•
RAID 5
- distributed parity
