MediaShield Driver

The NVIDIA

®

MediaShield driver supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 0+1

functions. It allows you to get high performance with fault tolerance, big capacity, or

data safety provided by different RAID functions.

Here, we will use Two SATA hard disks as an example to guide you how to select your
RAID system. Assume Two hard disks are connected to the motherboard :
SATA port 1 - Hitachi HDT725, 232.88GB
SATA port 2 - ST3320620AS, 298.09GB

The relationships between RAID settings and SATA ports on the motherboard are :
SATA Pri-Master RAID is the SATA port 1 of the motherboard.
SATA Pri-Slave RAID is the SATA port 2.

To achieve the best performance and reliability, we highly recommend you

using the hard disks with the same brand, size and model number. Though
we are using four different hard disks as an example to describe RAID
function in this chapter, it is only helpful in explaining what the final disk
volume of the RAID array will be. In the real world, using the same model to
build a disk array is strongly recommended.
