5. Guide to Intel Rapid Storage Overview Intel Rapid Storage Technology provides new levels of protection performance and expandability for desktop and mobile platforms Whether using one or multiple hard drives users can take advantage of enhanced performance and lower power consumption When using more than one drive the user can have additional protection against data loss in the event of a hard drive failure Starting with version 9 5 a brand new user interface makes creating and managing your storage simple and intuitive Combined with Intel Rapid Recover Technology setting up data protection can be accomplished easily with an external drive Valuable digital memories are protected against a hard drive failure when the system Is configured for any one of three fault tolerant RAID levels RAID 1 RAID 5 and RAID 10 By seamlessly storing copies of data on one or more additional hard drives any hard drive can fail without data loss or system downtime When the failed drive is removed and a replacement hard drive is installed data fault tolerance is easily restored Intel Rapid Storage Technology can also improve the performance of disk intensive retrieval applications such as editing home video By combining from two to six drives in a RAID 0 configuration data can be accessed on each drive simultaneously Speeding up response time on data intensive applications Also due to drive load balancing even systems with RAID 1 can
