  • Page 194: Introduction

    Introduction The ALi M5283 is a highly integrated disk drive controller that is capable of managing Parallel-ATA and Serial-ATA interface hard disk drives. The ALi controller supports PATA UDMA transfer mode up to mode 6 and SATA 1.0 disk drives. The ALi M5283 also comes with cost-effective RAID functionality that can be used to increase data read/write speed and to provide protection to data by distributing mirrored duplicates of data onto two disk drives (RAID1).

    NOTE: To reduce the chance of losing data, ALi imposes certain limitations on the RAID configuration options. Parallel-ATA drives connected on the same IDE channel cannot be selected as the members of a RAID1 array. Avoid mixing Parallel-ATA and Serial-ATA disk drives in a RAID1 array.
  • Page 201 NANO-LX CPU Card WARNING! All data previously stored on the member drives of a RAID configuration will be destroyed during the RAID initialization process. If “used” drives are used to create a RAID array, make sure the data has been moved or backed up before creating a RAID array out of the disk drives.

    E.5.4 Stripe Size The change to stripe size effects RAID0 arrays. Configurable options are: 64K (default) Select a small stripe size if the I/Os to the hard drives are small and randomly occurred. Choose a larger stripe size if the I/Os are mostly large and come in sequential orders, e.g., A/V playback and editing applications.
