5.2.3 RAID Functionality

The ICH8 DO component includes Intel RAID migration technology that simplifies the
migration from a single hard to a RAID0 or RAID1 dual hard drive array without requiring OS
reinstallation. Intel Matrix RAID provides exceptional storage performance with increased data
protection for configurations using dual drive arrays. A software solution is included that
provides full management and status reporting of the RAID array, and the BIOS ROM also
supports RAID creation, naming, and deletion of RAID arrays.
