nVidia S-ATA RAID Features

The nVidia S-ATA RAID solution uses the nForce3 250 MCP chip as a RAID

controller, which is a 2-channel S-ATA and 1-channel ATA133 solution. Listed

below are the main features and benefits of nVidia S-ATA RAID:

• Support two S-ATA hard disk drives.

• Supports hard disk drive larger than 137 GB (48-bits LBA).

• Supports RAID 0, 1 and JBOD.

• 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.

• RAID Across PATA and SATA

NVRAID can span across both Parallel ATA as well as Serial ATA

controllers. RAID operations can be performed on Parallel ATA hard drives,

Serial ATA hard drives, or both Parallel and Serial ATA hard drives.

• 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.
