Introduction

JMicron JMB362 offers RAID level 0 (Striping), RAID level 1 (Mirroring and Duplexing)
and JBOD (Concatenate) for E-SATA ports on this mainboard.
RAID 0 breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives. Spreading
the hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly improves I/O performance.
RAID 1 provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives and
provides enhanced read performance. JBOD provides a method for combining drives
of different sizes into one large disk.
Important
The least number of hard drives for RAID 0, RAID 1 or JBOD mode is 2.
