Serial ATA RAID Quick User's Guide
Serial/Ultra ATA RAID striped arrays can double the sustained data transfer
rate of Serial ATA/150 and Ultra ATA/133 drives. Serial/Ultra ATA RAID fully
supports Serial ATA/150 and Ultra ATA/133 specification of up to
150MB/sec per drive, depending on individual drive specifications.
The technology also offers fault tolerant, data redundancy for entry-level
network file servers or simply for desktop PC users wanting to continually
protect valuable data on their PC. The Serial/Ultra ATA RAID offers RAID 1
mirroring (for two drives) to protect data. Should a drive that is part of a
mirrored array fail, Serial/Ultra ATA RAID technology uses the mirrored
drive (which contains identical data) to assume all data handling. When a
new replacement drive is later installed, Serial/Ultra ATA RAID rebuilds
data to the new drive from the mirrored drive to restore fault tolerance.
