CHAPTER 4: INTEL RAID FUNC TIONS (FOR TFORCE P965 DELUXE)

4.1 O

Supports Windows XP Home/ Professional Edition, and Windows 2000 Professional.

PERATION SYSTEM

4.2 RAID ARRAYS

ICH8R supports t he following ty pes of RAID arrays:

RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for

RAID 1: RAID 1 defines techniques for mi rroring dat a.

Spanni ng (JBOD): JBOD provides a method for combining drives of different sizes in to

RAID 5: RAID 5 provides fault tolerance and better utilization of disk capacity.

RAID 1+0: RAID 1+0 combines the techniques used in RAID 0 and RAID 1.

many applications.

one large disk.

4.3 HOW RAID WORKS

RAID 0:

The controller “ stri pes” data across multiple d rives in a RAID 0 array system. It breaks up a large file into smaller blocks and performs disk reads and writes across multiple drives i n parallel. Th e size of each block i s determined by the stripe size parameter,

which you set during the creation of the RAID set based on the system environment. This technique reduces overall disk access time and o ffers high bandwidth.

Features and Benefits

 Drives: Minimum 1, and maximum is up to 6 or 8. Depending on t he

platform.

 Uses: Intended for non-critic al data requiring high data throughput, or any

env ironment that does not require fault tolerance.

 Benefi ts: prov ides inc reased data throughput, es pecially f or large files. No

capacity loss penalty for parity.

 Drawbacks: Does not deliver any fault toleranc e. If any drive in t he array

f ails, all data is lost.

 Fault Tolerance: No.

Block 3 Block 5

Block 2 Bl ock 4

Bl ock 6

Page 23

T Force P965 D eluxe/T Force 965PT

RAID 1:

Every read and write is actually carried out i n 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. RAID 1 provides a hot-standby copy of data if the active volume o r drive is corru pted or becomes un available because of a h ardware

failure. RAID techniques can be applied for high-availability solutions, or as a form of

automatic backup that eliminates tedious manual backups to more expensive and less reliable media.

Features and Benefits

 Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is 2.  Uses: RAID 1 is ideal for s mall databases or any other application that

requires f ault tolerance and minimal c apacity.

 Benefits: Prov ides 100% data redundancy. Should one driv e f ail, t he

controller switches to the other driv e.

 Drawbacks: Requires 2 drives for the storage space of one drive.

Perf ormance is impaired during driv e rebuilds.

 Fault Tolerance: Yes.

Blo c k 1 Block 2 Block 3

Block 1 Block 2 Block 3

Page 24

Motherboard Manual

Spanning (JBOD):

JBOD stands for “ Just a Bunch of Disks”. Each drive is accessed as if i t were o n a standard SCSI host bus adapter. This is useful when a single drive configuration is

needed, but it offers no speed improvement or fault tolerance.

Features and Benefits

- Uses: JBOD works best if y ou hav e odd sized driv es and y ou want to combine them to make one big drive.

- Benefits: JBOD prov ides t he ability to c ombine odd size driv es using all of the capacity of the drives .

- Drawbacks: Dec reases performanc e because of the diff iculty in using driv es concurrently.

- Fault Tolerance: Yes.

T Force P965 D eluxe/T Force 965PT

RAID 5:

RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more drives. It writes data and pa rit y blo cks across all th e d riv es in the array . Fa ul t to lerance is mai n t ai n ed

by en suring that the p arity informat ion for any given block of dat a is placed on a different drive from those used to store the data itself.

Features and Benefits

- Drives: Minimum 3.
