NOTE:

1. To reduce the chance of losing data, ALi imposed certain limitations on the

RAID configuration options. For example, Parallel-ATA drives connected

on the same IDE channel cannot be selected as the members of a RAID0

array. Mixing Parallel- and Serial-ATA disk drives in a RAID0 array should

also be avoided.

2. Always use disk drives of the same capacity to create a RAID array. The

excessive capacity of a larger disk drive cannot be utilized because data

stripes are equally distributed across all members of a RAID array. The

operational concept is diagrammed below.
