RRAYS RAID supports the following types of RAID arrays: RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for many applications.
  • Page 26 Motherboard Manual 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.
  • Page 27 TF7050-M2/TF7025-M2 RAID 0+1: RAID 0 drives can be mirrored using 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.
  • Page 28 Motherboard Manual RAID 5: RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more drives. It writes data and parity blocks across all the drives in the array. Fault tolerance is maintained by ensuring that the parity information for any given block of data is placed on a different drive from those used to store the data itself.

  • Page 32 Motherboard Manual Automatic O ve rclock System (A.O.S.) For beginners in overclock f ield, BET had developed an easy, fast, and powerf ul feature to increase the system performance, named A.O.S. Based on many tests and experiments, A.O.S. prov ides 3 ideal overclock conf igurations that are able to raise the system perf ormance in a single step.
  • Page 33 TF7050-M2/TF7025-M2 V12 Tech Engine: This setting will raise about 25%~30% of whole system perf ormance. Notices: Not all types of AMD CPU perform above overclock setting ideally; the difference will be based on the selected CPU model. From BET experiments, the Atholon64 FX CPU is not suitable for this A.O.S. feature.
