Setting Up SATA RAID Mode
AHCI Mode
Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is an interface specification that allows
the storage driver to enable advanced serial ATA features such as Native Command
Queuing (for maximum hard disk efficiency and performance). AHCI mode can be
supported by one, two or three hard disks.
RAID
To configure your system in Striping (RAID 0) or Mirroring (RAID 1) modes (see
Table 7 - 1, on page 7 - 3 ) you will require at least two identical (see sidebar) hard
disks; to configure your system in Intel® Rapid Recover Technology (Recovery)
mode you will require two hard disks installed; to configure your system in Parity
Across Disks (RAID 5) mode you will require three hard disks installed.
Intel ® Rapid Storage Technology Application
Make sure you install the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology application if you
have set up your hard disk(s) in RAID mode (see
“Intel Rapid Storage Technolo-
gy” on page 7 - 8 ).

RAID Hard Disks
All hard disks in a RAID
should be identical (the
same size and brand) in
order to prevent unex-
pected system behavior.
