1-4 Chapter 1: Product introduction
Dual RAID solution
Onboard RAID controllers provide the motherboard with dual-RAID functionality.
The Intel
® ICH7R allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5 for four SATA
connectors.
The LSISAS1068 is an eight-port, 3.0 Gbit/s SAS/SATA controller that is compliant
with the Fusion-MPT™ architecture, and supports the Integrated RAID™ solution.

The LSI Logic Integrated RAID solution provides cost benefits for the server
or workstation market where the extra performance, storage capacity, and/or
redundancy of a RAID configuration are required. The two components of
Integrated RAID are:
Integrated Mirroring (IM), which provides features of RAID 1 and RAID 1E
(RAID 1 Enhanced). RAID 1E is also called Mirroring Enhanced (IME).
Integrated Striping (IS), which provides features of RAID 0. By simplifying the
IM and the IS configuration options and by providing firmware support in its
host adapters, LSI Logic can offer the Integrated RAID solution at a lower cost
than a hardware RAID implementation.
Fusion-MPT firmware supports IM and IS volumes. You can conigure IM and IS
volumes together on the same LSI Logic SAS controller.
