SB710 RAID
The integrated one SATA host controller separately, and support RAID function for performance and reliability. SB710 SATA RAID (SATA1~5) provides support for RAID 0 (Striping), RAID 1 (Mirroring) & RAID 10 (Striping
&Mirroring). RAID 0 greatly improves hard disk I/O per- formance by concurrently striping data across multiple drives. RAID 1 makes sure data is not lost if a drive fails as data is simultaneously written to two drives. Drives configured for RAID Striping are said to form a RAID 0 set, while drives configured for RAID Mirroring are said to form a RAID 1 set. RAID 10 is implemented as a mir- rored array whose segments are RAID 0 arrays. RAID 10 has same fault tolerance as mirroring and reduces overhead by striping. It needs at least four drives to form a RAID 10.
