expensive (requiring read-in prior to write, in order to

be able to calculate the correct parity information), or

similar to RAID-1 writes. The write efficiency depends

heavily on the amount of memory in the machine, and

the usage pattern of the array. Heavily scattered writes

are bound to be more expensive.

RAID 10

(Mirrored Stripes) – A RAID 1 array of two RAID 0 arrays.

Strip Sizes:

Select the desired strip size setting. As indicated, the optimal setting is 128KB. Se-

lecting any other option may result in performance degradation. Even though 128KB

is the recommended setting for most users, you should choose the strip size value

which is best suited to your specific RAID usage model. The most typical strip size

settings are:

4KB

: For specialized usage models requiring 4KB strips

8KB

: For specialized usage models requiring 8KB strips

16KB

: Best for sequential transfers

32KB

: Good for sequential transfers

64KB

: Good general purpose strip size

128KB

: Best performance for most desktops and workstations

(2) Select the source disk

Then select the source disk that you wish to use and then click “--->” to move it to the
Selected

field. Then click Next to continue.

It is very important to note which disk is the source disk (the one containing all of the

information to be migrated) and which one is the target disk. On a RAID Ready

system, this can be determined by making a note during POST of which port the single

disk is attached to.

You can also use the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition utility before the

second disk is installed to verify the Port and serial number of the drive that contains

all the data.
