software provides Serial ATA RAID 0
(Striping), RAID 1 (Mirroring), RAID 5 (Parity RAID), RAID 10 (Striping and
Mirroring), and JBOD (just a bunch of disks) functionality to enhance the
industry’s leading PCI-to-SATA host controller products. Two major chal-
lenges facing the storage industry today are keeping pace with the increas-
ing performance demands of computer systems by improving disk I/O
throughput and providing data accessibility in the face of hard disk failures
while utilizing full disk capacity. With SiIicon Image Serial ATA host controller
and SATARAID5, both of these problems are solved. SATARAID5 software
provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for easy-to-use configurations of
the RAID Groups.
