AHCI and RAID on HP Elite 8100 Business PCs

Intel Matrix RAID Technology

This technology provides protection against data loss from a hard drive failure and faster access to digital

photo, video, and music files by supporting NCQ as well as RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10. Matrix RAID enables

two RAID levels to be combined for data loss protection plus performance.

second volume as RAID 5 with reliability and performance improvements.
