RAID Described:  
Stripe (RAID 0): Greatly increases the performance of  
data transfer by simultaneously writing data to 2 or more  
drives.  
Mirror (RAID 1): duplicates or mirrors the data on both  
drives. No data will be lost if one of the drives fails.  
Mirror-Striping (RAID 1+0) Combined both Striping  
and Mirroring technologies to provide both the  
performance enhancements that come from Striping  
and the data availability and integrity that come from  
Mirroring.  
Important Note:  
To do a RAID SET with 4 SATA drives directly  
connected to the SATA ports on the controller  
card, you can press F4 or CTRL+S from the boot  
up screen. Read and follow the instruction inside  
the BIOS screen.  
You can also install the SATA GUI utility Under  
Windows to monitor the RAID Set. It is under the  
Utility section of the driver disc.  
If you have a port multiplier (PM) with 5 drives and  
connect the PM to the SATA controller card, in  
the RAID BIOS of the SATA controller card, it will  
only display 1 drive and that is the drive connected  
to port 1 on the PM. To see all 5 drives, you would  
need to be inside the operating system disk utility.  
Parity (RAID 5) Adds fault tolerant to disk striping by  
including parity information with the data.
