RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology manages multiple disk
drives to enhance I/O performance and to provide redundancy in order to withstand
the failure of any individual member, without loss of data.
SATARaid ™ provides two RAID Set types: Striped Set (RAID 0) and Mirrored Set
(RAID 1).
Disk Striping (RAID 0)
Striping is a performance-oriented, non-redundant data mapping technique. It does
not provide fault tolerance. W ith modern SATA and ATA bus mastering technology,
multiple I/O operations can be performed in parallel, enhancing performance. Striping
arrays use multiple disks to form a larger virtual disk.
