SOYO SY-K7V DRAGON Plus! User Manual page 155

A: The FastTrak100-Lite is fully PnP. This means all the resources that it
uses are given to it by the PnP BIOS on the motherboard.
FastTrak100-Lite does support IRQ sharing, but this will not work unless
ALL the concerned devices support the feature. If your motherboard
allows you to control the assignment of these resources, you may be
able to remedy the problem by "playing around" with them. You can also
try resetting the configuration data in your CMOS. This is usually an
option in the PnP section of your CMOS. Otherwise, the only way you
might be able to affect these assignments is to switch the PCI slot that
the card is in.
Q: How does the FastTrak100-Lite RAID controller provide storage
and/or data protection with their arrays?
A: FastTrak100-Lite implements three different types of RAID levels as
follows:
RAID 0 (stripe)
For capacity -- The FastTrak100-Lite array will be as big as the smallest
HDD in the array times however many HDDs are in the array. Any larger
HDDs will simply be truncated. The truncated space on the bigger
HDDs will then be unusable.
For sustained data transfers -- Using FastTrak100-Lite, a RAID 0
array consisting of two HDDs will transfer at about twice the speed of the
slowest HDD in the array. A RAID 0 array consisting of four HDDs will
transfer at about three times the speed of the slowest HDD in the array.
RAID 1 (mirror)
For capacity -- The FastTrak100-Lite array will be as big as the smallest
HDD in the array. The larger HDD will simply be truncated. The
truncated space on the bigger HDD will then be unusable.
