KINO-LX Motherboard E.4.3 Create JBOD for Integrated Capacity JBOD is defined as “Just a Bunch of Drives.” JBOD provides neither performance gains nor data redundancy. WARNING! 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.
KINO-LX Motherboard 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.
