The data is striped across the hard drives and the controller calculates redundancy multi-tasking and multi-user environment, the response time is very good. RAID 5 offers the same level of security as RAID 4. When one hard

    Chaining The Intel RAID Controller SRCU32 firmware supports Drive Chaining (also referred to as Disk Spanning). Drive Chaining is the process of linking several individual drives to form a large single drive. Chaining is

    device. This is necessary to easily change the Intel RAID Controller SRCU32 and the channels, IDs, without loosing the data and the information on a specific disk array. Level 3 On this level of hierarchy, the firmware forms the array drives. Depending on the firmware installed an array drive can be

    number. The firmware is capable of running several kinds of host drives at the same time. For example, in Windows† 2000, drive C is a RAID 5 type host drive (consisting of five SCSI hard drives), drive D is a single hard drive. On this level the user may split an existing

    Setting the Termination Mode of the Intel RAID Controller SRCU32 The onboard termination of the RAID controller can be changed within Storage Console. The default setting is "Auto" (jumpers in 'Soft-Switch mode). In this mode, the controller automatically activates/ deactivates termination based on

RAID levels 4, 5 and 10 can tolerate the failure of one drive just as RAID 1, however RAID 4, RAID 5, or RAID 10 are less expensive because of their efficient ratio of available to installed capacity. 26 Intel RAID Controller SRCU32 User's Guide
