RAID IDE Disk Drive Connector
The HighPoint RAID controller allows configuring RAID on hard
drives connected to the RAID IDE connectors. It supports RAID
levels 0, 1, 0+1 and 1.5.
The two shrouded RAID IDE headers can interface up to four
Enhanced IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) disk drives. To prevent
improper IDE cable installation, the shrouded RAID IDE header has
a keying mechanism. The 40-pin connector on the IDE cable can be
placed into the header only if pin 1 of the connector is aligned with
pin 1 of the header.
Hard drives must be Ultra ATA/133, Ultra ATA/100, Ultra ATA/66,
Ultra ATA/33, EIDE and/or Fast ATA-2 compatible. For optimal
performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity.
The drives' matched performance allows the RAID array to function
better as a single drive.
