Setting Up Raid; Raid Arrays - Acer Aspire Predator G7700 Series User Manual

Setting up RAID

RAID technology uses multiple drives to either increase total disk space or to
offer data protection. RAID techniques are divided into different levels and it
optimizes storage solutions by using multiple disks grouped together and
treating them as single storage resource. With NVIDIA MediaShield storage
technology you can easily set up and configure the SATA drives for even higher
performance and security.

RAID arrays

NVIDIA MediaShield supports the following types of RAID arrays:
• RAID 0 (Stripe): Defines a disk striping scheme that improves the disk read
and write times for many applications. Data is split up across all the drives,
delivering unmatched storage performance and capability.
• RAID 1 (Mirror) : Defines techniques for mirroring data. Data is stored
twice on both the data disk and mirror disk.
