Setting Up The Bios - TYAN THUNDER K8HM Manual

Chapter 4: Setting up RAID Configuration
The Thunder K8HM S3892 provides support for NVIDIA RAID 0, 1, and 0+1.
The RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology uses multiple
drives to either increase total disk space or to offer data protection.
The RAID techniques were first published in 1988 by a multivendor
consortium – the RAID Advisory Board. RAID techniques were divided into
different categories or levels. Originally, RAID levels focused on improving
resiliency or data availability. As additional RAID levels were defined, one was
introduced for improving performance. For all levels, RAID techniques optimize
storage solutions by using multiple disks grouped together and treated them as
a single storage resource.
This chapter describes the basic steps for configuring NVIDIA RAID.
