nVidia RAID Features
The nVidia RAID solution uses the nForce4 series chip as a RAID controller, which
is a 4-channel S-ATA solution. Listed below are the main features and benefits of
nVidia RAID:
• Support four S-ATA hard disk drives.
• Supports hard disk drive larger than 137 GB (48-bits LBA).
• Supports RAID 0, 1, JBOD, 0+1
• Free Disk and Dedicated Spare Disk
A Free Disk or Dedicated Disk can be automatically used in case one drive
of a mirrored array fails. A free disk can be used by any available mirrored
array, while a dedicated disk can be used only by the array to which it is
assigned.
• Bootable RAID
NVRAID can be configured in a way to make it bootable. For example, two
hard drives can be configured as a bootable mirrored RAID array.
• RAID on Multiple Disk Controllers
Unlike other RAID solutions that limits the user to a dedicated RAID
controller, NVRAID software can use a drive on one RAID controller and
another drive on a second RAID controller.
• Disk Alert system
Disk Alert system informs user when a disk fails, indicating the location of
failed port.
