Guide to Intel Rapid Storage

Overview

Intel® Rapid Storage Technology provides new levels of protection, performance,

and expandability for desktop and mobile platforms. Whether using one or multiple

hard drives, users can take advantage of enhanced performance and lower power

consumption. When using more than one drive, the user can have additional

protection against data loss in the event of a hard drive failure.

Starting with version 9.5, a brand new user interface makes creating and managing

your storage simple and intuitive. Combined with Intel® Rapid Recover Technology,

setting up data protection can be accomplished easily with an external drive.

Valuable digital memories are protected against a hard drive failure when the

system is configured for any one of three fault-tolerant RAID levels: RAID 1, RAID 5,

and RAID 10. By seamlessly storing copies of data on one or more additional hard

drives, any hard drive can fail without data loss or system downtime. When the

failed drive is removed and a replacement hard drive is installed, data fault

tolerance is easily restored.

Intel Rapid Storage Technology can also improve the performance of disk intensive

retrieval applications such as editing home video. By combining from two to six

drives in a RAID 0 configuration, data can be accessed on each drive simultaneously,

speeding up response time on data-intensive applications. Also, due to drive load

balancing, even systems with RAID 1 can take advantage of faster boot times and

data reads.

Intel Rapid Storage Technology provides benefits to users of a single drive as well.

Through AHCI, storage performance is improved through Native Command Queuing

(NCQ). AHCI also delivers longer battery life with Link Power Management (LPM),

which can reduce the power consumption of the chipset and Serial ATA (SATA) hard

drive.
