Support for Non-Hard Disk Drive Devices As SAS-based non-hard drive devices were not available when this controller was in development, support for these devices will be determined as they become available.

  • Page 32: Enclosure Management Support

    The fundamental purpose of a RAID system is to present a usable data storage medium (virtual drive) with some level of redundancy to a host operating system. The Intel® RAID firmware is based on the concept of associating physical drives in arrays and then creating a virtual drive from that array that includes a functional RAID level.
