About NVIDIA® MediaShield™

having to go through multiple steps. The migrating feature gives the user an 
upgradeable option to manage storage easily.

A nice flexibility feature is the ability to move MediaShield RAID arrays from one 
nForce system to another. Since most nForce systems support SATA hot plug 
capability, you can add/remove a RAID array even while the system is running. This is 
done using the Hot Plug Array wizard. 

Features and Benefits Summary

• Allows the user to dedicate a "spare" disk as a hot 

standby in the event of a array failure.  

• Offers additional protection in case of a failure in a 

mirrored array.

• Supports the use of a RAID drive for loading the 

operating system at power up for optimal performance

• Allows the user to upgrade for more performance, 

security, and capacity.

• Allows the user to change the current state of a disk/

array to another array with a one step process called 

"migrating", without losing any data during the 

configuration change.

• Notifies the user when a disk fails and indicates which 

one to replace

• Allows the user to safely add a drive to the array when 

needed.
