Intel Matrix RAID Technology

This technology provides protection against data loss from a hard drive failure and faster access to digital photo, video, and music files by supporting NCQ as well as RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10. As shown in Figure 5, Matrix RAID enables two RAID levels to be combined for data loss protection plus performance.

Using Intel Matrix RAID Technology, you can configure an HP Elite 8000-series Business PC Convertible Mini-tower with two RAID volumes using three hard drives (Figure 6) - a RAID 0 volume for ultimate performance, and a second volume as RAID 5 with reliability and performance improvements.
