Introduction

DRIVER BOOSTER MANAGER offers RAID level 0 (Striping), RAID level 1 (Mirroring
and Duplexing)and JBOD (Concatenate) for SATA ports (SATA7/8 & SATA9/10) 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.
