Disk array Preliminary Understanding Graphics Tutorial _ Server Other

Nothing to do, group a RAID 0, feel good, the speed has been significantly improved, load the game and start the program speed improved
Let's go ahead and compare the pictures.

Single disc speed chart below:

RAID0 speed diagram below:
The hard drive is this, two Seagate 500g single disc

Steps/Methods

1

The next step, because the board is not the same, enter and set the method is different, the following to my p55a-ud3r for example, the Intel board settings are basically the same:
First after the power is opened B I o s in the P O s T, press the <d e l e t e> key to enter the B I o s setup program. To make R A I D, enter
"integrated peripherals" the "pch SATA control mode" option to "raid (XHD), exit the BIOS program settings and save the settings results.
The following figure

You then need to enter the RAID Setup program to set the following steps:
Step One:
After the BIOS post screen, before entering the operating system, there will be a screen like the following, press the <Ctrl>+<I> key to enter
The RAID Setup program.
Step Two:
The main screen of the P55 RAID Setup program appears when <Ctrl>+<I> is pressed.
Create a disk array (create RAID Volume)
Press <Enter> on the "create raid volume" option to make a RAID disk.
Step Three:
Entering the "create VOLUME menu" screen, you can customize the name of the disk array in the "name" option, with the words most
The number can be 16 letters, but can not have special characters, set good after the <e N T E r> key. Select the R a I d mode to make (R a I D
Level). RAID mode options are: RAID 0, RAID 1, Recovery, RAID 10, and RAID 5 (selectable raid modes
Depends on the total number of hard drives installed. After you select good RAID mode, press <Enter> to continue with the steps that follow.
Step Four:
In the "d i s k s" option, select the hard drive to make the disk array. If only two hard drives are installed, the two hard drives will be automatically set to the disk array.
Next, select the disk window size (Strip size), which ranges from 4 KB to 128 KB. When the settings are complete, press <Enter> to set the disk array capacity (Capacity).
Step Five:
After setting the disk array capacity, press <e N T e r> to move to "c R e a t e Vo l u m e" (build disk) option. In "c r e a T E
Vo l u m e"Press the <e N T e r> key to start making the disk array. When the confirmation message appears, make sure that the disk array is made by
<y>, cancel please press <N>.

When you are done, you can see the detailed set of disk array details in "disk/volume information", such as disk array mode, window size, disk array name, and disk array capacity, below are my array information.

4

When the final setting is complete, press <Esc> key or select "5 on the main screen. exit", and then press <Enter> to exit the RAID Setup program.
Press down to make the SATA RAID/AHCI driver floppy disk and install the operating system, after installing Intel's RAID program, you can view raid information and management,
Speed-seeking friends can open the write-back cache, but it may cause a sudden power outage when the hard drive data is not saved, I did not open.
Well, that's probably it .... Thank you for seeing this ....

Another AMD method to 770t-ud3p as an example, because the board with more people, I used to use this, AMD settings are similar:

6

First, after the power is turned on, the BIOS in the post, press the <Delete> key can enter the BIOS Setup main screen, and then enter
"Integrated peripherals" to confirm that "Onchip SATA Controller" is turned on.
Set the Onchip SATA type option to raid; set the Onchip SATA type to raid and Onchip
SATA PORT4/5 Type "is set to as SATA type."

7

Then enter the raid BIOS and set RAID mode:
The system starts after the BIOS post (power-on Self test post) screen, before entering the operating system, it appears as
Click the <Ctrl> + <F> key to enter the RAID BIOS Setup program as shown in the picture.

8

Press the <Ctrl> + <F> key to enter the RAID Setup program-the Main menu window appears.
(main menus): Main Menu
If you want to view disk information in the disk array, press <1> to enter the view Drive Assignments screen.
If you are setting up a disk array, press <2> to enter the Define LD screen.
If you want to remove the disk array, press <3> to enter the delete LD screen.
If you would like to see the SATA control port configuration, press <4> to enter the "Controller Configuration" screen.

9

To establish a disk array, press <2> in the main menu to enter the Define LD window. This feature allows users to
Manually specify the hard disk to be used as the disk array and define the disk array mode, as required by the individual.

10

Use the up and down keys to move to a logical disk group and press the <Enter> key to enter the disk array Setup screen.

11

Here we start making RAID0:
1. Under the RAID mode item, press the <SPACE> key to select RAID 0.
2. Use the arrow keys to move to the "stripe block" item, and then press the <SPACE> key to switch to the desired chunk size. (Default value:
MB, recommended set to 128K)
3. Then under the "Drives Assignments" project, use the up and down keys to select disks to join the disk array.
4. Press the <SPACE> key or <Y> key on the selected disk "assignment" to switch to "Y". This operation will make the magnetic
Disk into the array of disks you want to make. Total DRV also displays the number of disks added to the array.
5. After the completion of the set, press <Ctrl> + <Y> key to save the set value will appear as shown in the picture.
6. Press <Ctrl> + <Y> key to select clear master boot record, or press other key to ignore this option. The following will appear as shown
The picture shown. 7. Press <Ctrl> + <Y> key to select a custom disk capacity, or press the other key to choose the maximum disk capacity.
8. After the completion of the production will return to the "Define LD Menu" screen. In this screen you can see the newly created disk array.
9. Press <Esc> key to return to main menu. To exit the RAID BIOS utility, press the <Esc> key.

View disk status
The View drives Assignments window shows whether the disk connected to the AMD SB710 controller is designated as a disk array
Members. After entering this window, you will see the disk array to which they belong under the disk's assignment item.
If the disk does not establish a disk array, it appears as free.

The next step is to make the SATA RAID/AHCI driver floppy disk and install the operating system, after installing AMD's driver and RAID management program, you can view RAID or Achi and NCQ settings management, as shown below:
Well, that's probably it ....
