Intel

Embedded Server RAID Technology II
The onboard storage capability of these server boards includes support for Intel
®
Embedded
Server RAID Technology II (Intel
®
ESRTII), which provides three standard software RAID levels:
data stripping (RAID Level 0), data mirroring (RAID Level 1), and data stripping with mirroring
(RAID Level 10). For higher performance, you can use data stripping to alleviate disk
bottlenecks by taking advantage of the dual independent DMA engines that each SATA port
offers. Data mirroring is used for data security. If a disk fails, a mirrored copy of the failed disk
is brought online. There is no loss of either PCI resources (request/grant pair) or add-in card
slots.

(RAID Level 10). For higher performance, you can use data stripping to alleviate disk

slots.
With the addition of an optional Intel
®
RAID Activation Key, Intel
®
ESRTII is also capable of
providing fault tolerant data stripping (software RAID Level 5), such that if a SATA hard drive
fails, you can restore the lost data on a replacement drive from the other drives that make up
the RAID 5 pack.
