Matrix RAID (Two Volumes Per Array)
Matrix RAID allows you to create two RAID volumes, of the same or different types, on a single RAID array.
As an example, on systems with an Intel® 82801GR or Intel® 82801GH controller hub, Intel® Matrix Storage Manager allows you to create a matrix RAID configuration with three or four hard drives that utilizes RAID 0, RAID 5, or RAID 10, as well as continuing to provide the benefits of RAID 0 performance and RAID 1 protection on two hard drives.
A matrix RAID configuration with RAID 0 and RAID 5 on four hard drives provides better data protection than RAID 0, by providing one volume of RAID 5 storage where data can be protected from a single hard drive failure. Also, matrix RAID can provide greater total storage capacity and improved performance than RAID 5 alone.
