Has anyone got any personal experience in using this? Its designed for home users apparently and its just what Im looking for looking at the wiki info.
"Matrix RAID is a feature that first appeared in the Intel ICH6R RAID BIOS. It is not a new RAID level. Matrix RAID utilizes two physical disks. Part of each disk is assigned to a level 0 array, the other part to a level 1 array. Currently, most (all?) of the other cheap RAID BIOS products only allow one disk to participate in a single array. This product targets home users, providing a safe area (the level 1 section) for documents and other items that one wishes to store redundantly, and a faster area for operating system, applications, etc."
It would be perfect for me as I could have music and stuff on the safe partition and programs on the striped partition and have the redundancy and read performance of raid 1 and the write performance of raid 0
. Though the fact that people are still using raid 0 and 1 instead of this may mean theres something wrong with it?
