NOTE:
1. To reduce the chance of losing data, ALi imposed certain limitations on the
RAID configuration options. For example, Parallel-ATA drives connected
on the same IDE channel cannot be selected as the members of a RAID0
array. Mixing Parallel- and Serial-ATA disk drives in a RAID0 array should
also be avoided.
2. Always use disk drives of the same capacity to create a RAID array. The
excessive capacity of a larger disk drive cannot be utilized because data
stripes are equally distributed across all members of a RAID array. The
operational concept is diagrammed below.
