RAID Configuration and Management Introduction to RAID Overview of RAID Redundant array of independent drives (RAID) is an array of multiple independent hard drives that can be accessed simultaneously, improving I/O (input/output) performance. The host computer recognizes the RAID array as a single storage unit or as multiple logical units.
Page 91
RAID Configuration and Management RAID 1 (Mirror) RAID 1 is a RAID level that involves duplicating all data from one drive to a second drive (mirroring). RAID 1 provides complete data redundancy, but at the cost of doubling the required data storage capacity. You must have a minimum of two hard drives to support RAID 1.
RAID Configuration and Management Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility The Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility is a standard feature of ATA models of the server.
