This card using SiI 3132 controller to manage the Soft-RAID or as some people name it as Hyprid-RAID which it is in between a hardware-RAID and a fully software RAID. Supported RAID Modes are BIG (Spanning or Concatenation) also know as "Simple" RAID, RAID 0 (Striped Disks), and RAID 1 (Mirrored Disks). Off course such a low cost card is not recommended to use it for RAID0 to gain peformance, but it is good for RAID1 to protect your files or OS. This card support wise Operation Systems refer to the website for more info.
I used this card for RAID1 with two SATA II 2.5" hard drives to install Windows Home Server 2011 operationg system on them. My configuration is:
OS: Windows Home Server 2011
RAID Mode: RAID 1
Hard Drives: Hitachi Travelstar 500GB SATA II 2.5" hard drives.
Motherboard: Zotac H67 Mini-ITX
Cables: the supplied cables will not work in my situation because they gone hit the memory slot in the motherboard, so I got a Left Angle SATA cables without latch to get them fit.
The card came with an old BIOS and CD drivers, so I update the controller BIOS to 7.7.02 version using UpdFlash.exe Utility from Silicon Image website. In addition, I used 64Bit Driver for Windows OS installation 1.5.19.0 downloaed from Silicon Image website. After I installed the OS, I installed a small RAID utility from Silicon Image to monitor my RAID health.
I simulate a hard drive failure situation with this card while the system on by disconnecting one drive, immediatly the RAID utility pop up with a warrning message that one drive is down. Still the system is on fully fucntional, but not protected, so I tried to connect the drive back, but the RAID doesn't recognize it or rebuild it autmatically.Read more ›
