Installation of SATA RAID Disks The Serial ATA channel controlled by the VIA VT8237R southbridge chip supports RAID 0 www..com explains the steps required to configure RAID disks. and RAID 1. This section RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a method of combining two hard disk drives into one logical unit. The advantage of an Array is to provide better performance or data fault tolerance. Hard disk drives can be combined together through a few different methods. The different methods are referred to as different RAID levels. Different RAID levels represent different performance levels, security levels and implementation costs. RAID 0 (Striping) RAID 0 reads and writes sectors of data interleaved between multiple drives. If any disk member fails, it affects the entire array. The disk array data capacity is equal to the number of drive members times the capacity of the smallest member. RAID 0 does not provide fault tolerance funtionality. RAID 1 (Mirroring) RAID 1 writes duplicate data onto a pair of drives and reads both sets of data in parallel. If one of the mirrored drives suffers a mechanical failure or does not respond, the remaining drive will continue to function. Due to redundancy, the drive capacity of the array is the capacity of the smallest drive. Due to the fault tolerance, if any RAID 1 drive fails, data access will not be affected as long as there are other working drives in the array. 51 ..
