The Intel Matrix Storage Manager (RAID)

Installing a RAID System
Installing a RAID System
The Intel® Matrix Storage Technology provides new levels of protection,
performance, and upgradeability for the 7403 platform. Whether using one or two
hard drives you can take advantage of enhanced performance and lower power
consumption. When using two drives you can have additional protection against data
loss in the event of hard drive failure.
Valuable digital memories are protected against a hard drive failure when the system
is configured for one of the fault‐tolerant RAID levels: RAID 1 or 5. By seamlessly
storing copies of data on one or more additional hard drives, any hard drive can fail
without data loss or system downtime. When the failed drive is removed and a
replacement hard drive is installed, data fault tolerance is easily restored.
