INTEL快速存储安装指南
Overview
概述
Intel® Rapid Storage Technology provides new levels of protection, performance and expandability for desktop and mobile plat forms. 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 protect ion against data loss in the event of a hard drive failure.
Intel快速存储技术为桌面和移动平台的性能和可扩展性提供新的保护水平，无论使用一个或多个驱动器，用户都可以利用强劲的性能和更低的功耗，当使用多个驱动时，用户可以在硬盘故障的情况下对数据丢失进行额外的保护。
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.
从9.5版本开始，一个全新的用户界面可以简单和直观创建和管理您的存储。结合英特尔®快速恢复技术，建立数据保护可以很容易用一个外部驱动器实现。
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.
当系统被配置为三个故障容错RAID级别中的任何一个，当系统被配置为RAID1、RAID5和RAID10时，有价值的数字存储器被保护以防止硬盘故障。通过无缝地将数据存储在一个或多个额外的硬盘上，任何硬盘可以在避免数据丢失或系统停机后加载失败。当故障驱动器被移除，更换硬盘驱动器时，数据容错很容易恢复。
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 take advantage of faster boot times and data reads.
英特尔快速存储技术还可以提高磁盘密集型检索应用程序的性能，比如编辑家庭视频。通过结合在一个磁盘阵列RAID0个配置中的2到六个驱动器，可以同时访问数据，加快响应时间在数据密集型应用。此外，由于驱动负载平衡，即使系统与磁盘阵列1可以利用更快的启动时间和数据读取。
Intel Rapid Storage Technology provides benefits to users of a single drive as well. Through AHCI , storage performance is improved through Native Command Queuing(NCQ) . AHCI also delivers longer battery life with Link Power Management (LPM) , which can reduce the power consumption of the chipset and Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive.
英特尔快速存储技术为用户提供了一个单一驱动器的好处。通过AHCI，存储性能是通过原生命令队列的改进（NCQ）。AHCI还提供更长的电池寿命和链路电源管理（LPM），可降低功耗的芯片和串行ATA（SATA）硬盘驱动器。
