Introduction

JMicron JMB363 offers RAID level 0 (Striping), RAID level 1 (Mirroring and Duplexing), RAID level 10 (A Stripe of Mirrors) and JBOD (Concatenate).

RAID 0 breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives. Spreading the hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly improves I/O performance. RAID 1 provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives and provides enhanced read performance. RAID 10 Not one of the original RAID levels, multiple RAID 1 mirrors are created, and a RAID 0 stripe is created over these. JBOD provides a method for combining drives of different sizes into one large disk.

Important

The least number of hard drives for RAID 0, RAID 1 or JBOD mode is 2. The least number of hard drives for RAID 10 mode is 4.

All the information/ volumes/ pictures listed in your system might differ from the illustrations in this appendix. And this mainboard supports RAID 0/ RAID 1 or JBOD mode only.
