BIOS Setup for NVRAID (NF7-S2/NF7-S2G) F-1
Appendix F. BIOS Setup for NVRAID
(NF7-S2/NF7-S2G)
The NF7-S2/NF7-S2G supports the RAID
operation of “Striping (RAID 0)”, “Mirroring
(RAID 1)”, “Striping/Mirroring (RAID 0+1)”,
or “JBOD/Spanning”. For the striping
operation, the identical drives can read and
write data in parallel to increase system
performance. The Mirroring operation creates a
complete backup of your files. Striping with
Mirroring operation offers both read/write
performance and fault tolerance. JBOD
(Spanning) operation provides the ability to
combine drives of different sizes into one large
disk.
