The Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA with HostRAID Controller
Driver
The Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA RAID Controller adds SATA/RAID functionality and
performance enhancements to a Motherboard. RAID striping (RAID 0) allows data to
be written across multiple drives, greatly improving hard disk I/O performance. RAID
mirroring (RAID 1) allows data to be simultaneously written to two drives, improving
data security even if a single hard disk fails. A Stripe of Mirrors (RAID 10) provides
multiple RAID 1 mirrors and a RAID 0 stripe, maximizing data security and system
efficiency. By incorporating the Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA into the Motherboard
design, the Vig395 offers the user the benefits of SATARAID without the high costs
associated with hardware RAID applications.
Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility (ARC)
The Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility, an embedded BIOS Utility, includes the
following:
 Array Configuration Utility: Use this utility to create, configure and manage arrays.
 Disk Utilities: Use this option to format or verify disks.
To run the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility, you will need to do the following:
1. Enable RAID functions in the system BIOS (refer to page 91).
2. Press the <Ctrl> and <A> keys simultaneously when prompted to do so during
system boot. (Refer to the previous page for detailed instructions.)
