Matrix RAID (Two Volumes Per Array)
Intel innovation continues with the introduction of Matrix RAID, which combines the benefits of RAID 0 performance and RAID 1 protection on two hard drives. For example, games and video editing can benefit from improved performance by being stored on a RAID 0 volume while valuable personal photos and financial records can be better protected from a drive failure by being stored on the RAID 1 volume.
Matrix RAID provides better data protection than RAID 0 by providing a volume of RAID 1 storage, where data can be protected from a single hard drive failure. Additionally, Matrix RAID provides a greater total storage capacity and improved performance over what is provided by RAID 1 alone.
| Minimum Disks: |
2 |
| Advantage: |
Combines benefits of RAID 0 and RAID 1 on two hard drives. |
| Data Protection: |
Data stored on the RAID 1 volume is redundant, and can still be accessed in the event of a hard drive failure. |
| Application: |
Matrix RAID is an option for advanced users who desire increased capacity and performance while still protecting some data from a hard drive failure. | |
