Adaptec Embedded SATA with HostRAID Controller Driver

Adaptec's Embedded Serial ATA RAID with HostRAID controller adds RAID functionality to the Serial ATA I/O controller by supporting RAID 0 (Striping) or RAID 1 (Mirroring) to enhance the industry's pioneer PCI-to-e host controller products. RAID striping (RAID 0) can greatly improve hard disk I/O performance because of its capability in striping data across multiple drives. RAID mirroring (RAID 1) allows the data to be simultaneously written to two drives, so critical data is always available even if one hard disk fails.

Due to this built-in functionality, your Supermicro motherboard is specially designed to keep pace with the increasing performance demands of today's computer systems by improving disk I/O throughput and providing data acces- sibility regardless of a single disk failure. By incorporating Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA into the motherboard design, Supermicro offers the user the benefi ts of SATA RAID without the high costs associated with RAID hardware.

Note: For Adaptec's RAID Driver Installation Instructions, please refer to the

Adaptec RAID Controller User's Guide: "Emb_SA_RAID_UG.pdf", which is lo- cated in the CD that came with this motherboard. You can also download a copy of Adaptec's User's Guide from our website at www.supermicro.com.
