The ALi controller supports PATA UDMA transfer mode up to mode 6 and SATA 1 disk drives. The ALi M5283 also has a cost-effective RAID functionality that can increase the data read/write speed and provide protection to data by distributing mirrored duplicates of data onto two disk drives (RAID 1).

  • Page 213 PCISA-MARK CPU Card NOTE: 1. To reduce the chance of losing data, ALi imposes certain limitations on the RAID configuration options. PATA drives connected on the same IDE channel cannot be selected as the members of a RAID 0 array. Avoid mixing PATA and SATA disk drives in a RAID 0 array.

All data previously stored on the member drives of a RAID configuration is 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.
