Page 18: Chapter 5: Nvidia Raid Function
CHAPTER 5: NVIDIA RAID FUNCTION PERATION YSTEM Windows XP home Edition Windows XP Professional Edition Windows 2000 Professional RRAYS NVRAID supports the following types of RAID arrays: RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and writes times for many applications. -
Page 19: How Raid Works
RAID W ORKS RAID 0: The controller “stripes” data across multiple drives in a RAID 0 array system. It breaks up a large file into smaller blocks and performs disk reads and writes across multiple drives in parallel. The size of each block is determined by the strip size parameter, which you set during the creation of the RAID set based on the system environment. - Page 20 RAID 1: Every read and write is actually carried out in parallel across 2 disk drives in a RAID 1 array system. The mirrored (backup) copy of the data can reside on the same disk or on a second redundant drive in the array. RAID 1 provides a hot-standby copy of data if the active volume or drive is corrupted or becomes unavailable because of a hardware failure.
- Page 21 RAID 0+1: RAID 0 drives can be mirrored suing RAID 1 techniques. Resulting in a RAID 0+1 solution for improved performance plus resiliency. Features and Benefits Drives: Minimum 4, and maximum is 6 or 8, depending on the platform. Benefits: Optimizes for both fault tolerance and performance, allowing for automatic redundancy.
- Page 22 Spanning (JBOD): JBOD stands for “Just a Bunch of Disks”. Each drive is accessed as if it were on a standard SCSI host bus adapter. This is useful when a single drive configuration is needed, but it offers no speed improvement or fault tolerance.
