    Serial ATA/IDE RAID Serial ATA/IDE RAID Introduction What is the FastTrak 376 RAID controller? Promise designed its FastTrak 376 to provide a cost-effective, high performance RAID solution that adds performance and/or reliability to PC desktops and/or servers using Serial ATA/150, Ultra ATA/133, Ultra ATA/100, Ultra ATA/66, Ultra ATA/33 hard disks.

  • Page 91: Steps For Installing Your Serial Ata/Ide Raid

    Serial ATA/IDE RAID mechanical failure (e.g. spindle failure) or does not respond, the remaining drive will continue to function. This is called Fault Tolerance. If one drive has a physical sector error, the mirrored drive will continue to function. With striping, identical drives can read and write data in parallel to increase performance.

    Serial ATA/IDE RAID Step 2: Installing the Hard Drives If you wish to include your current bootable Serial or Parallel ATA drive using the Windows NT 4.x, Windows 2000, or Windows XP operating system on your FastTrak 376 Controller. You MUST install the Windows NT4, 2000, or XP driver software first onto this drive while it is still attached to your existing hard drive controller.
