CHAPTER 5: NVIDIA RAID FUNCTIONS

5.1 OPERATION SYSTEM

Windows XP home Edition

Windows XP Professional Edition

Windows 2000 Professional

5.2 RAID ARRAYS

NVRAID supports the following types of RAID arrays:

RAID 0:

RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and writes

times for many applications.

RAID 1:

RAID 1 defines techniques for mirroring data.

RAID 0+1:

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

Spanning (JBOD):

JBOD provides a method for combining drives of different sizes in to one

Nf4 ultra a9 23
Raid 0 the controller stripes data across multiple drives in a raid 0 array system it breaks up a large file into smaller blocks and performs disk reads and writes across multiple drives in parallel the size of each block is determined by the strip 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 offers high bandwidth 23
Features and benefits 24
Nf4 ultra a9 24
Raid 1 every read and write is actually carried out in 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 or drive is corrupted or becomes unavailable because of a hardware 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 24
Features and benefits 25
Nf4 ultra a9 25
Raid 0 1 raid 0 drives can be mirrored suing raid 1 techniques resulting in a raid 0 1 solution for improved performance plus resiliency 25
Features and benefits 26

Single logical drive 26
Spanning jbod jbod stands for just a bunch of disks each drive is accessed as if it were on 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 26
