Four high speed Serial ATA interface ports, each supporting 1st generation & nd 2 generation Serial ATA data rates 1.5Gbps/ 3Gbps. Provides RAID 0 (Stripping) to greatly increase the performance of data transfer by simultaneously writing data to 2 drives. Provides RAID 1 (Mirroring) to protect the data from a disk failure by writing identical data on 2 drives. RAID 0+1 (Mirrored-Stripping) combine both Striping and Mirroring technologies to provide both the performance enhancements

data. This card provides two RAID Set types, Striped (RAID 0) and Mirrored (RAID 1). Disk Striping (RAID 0) Striping is a performance-oriented, non-redundant data mapping technique. While Striping is discussed as a RAID Set type, it is actually does not provide fault tolerance. With modern SATA bus mastering technology, multiple I/O operations can be done in parallel, enhancing performance. Striping arrays use multiple disks to form a larger virtual disk. Disk Mirroring (RAID 1) Dis

If, after a disk failure, the replacement disk was previously part of a RAID set (or used in another system), it may have conflicting metadata, specifically in reference to the drive connection information. If so, this will prohibit the RAID set from being either created or rebuilt, In order for the RAID set to function properly, this old m
