Disk Mirroring (RAID 1)
Disk mirroring creates an identical twin for a selected disk by having the data simultaneously
written to two disks. This redundancy provides instantaneous protection from a single disk
failure. If a read failure occurs on one drive, the system reads the data from the other
drive.
3. RAID BIOS Installation
Creating and deleting RAID sets is a function found in the BIOS. During boot up, the RAID
setting message will appear and pause for a few moments to allow the user to choose what
to do.
This board will act as normal NON-RAID card when BIOS not configured for RAID. Just
proceed to Software Installation section directly.
If you use traditional parallel ATA HDD, make sure your hard drives be set up as master
mode before the RAID setting.
