Introduction
The SiS180 SATA controller is a hybrid solution that combines two
independent SATA ports and one Ultra ATA port for support of up to two
Serial ATA (Serial ATA RAID) and two Ultra ATA (Ultra ATA RAID) drives.
However the South Bridge SiS964 SATA controller only support two Serial
ATA on two independent ports. Specifications are as follows:
Serial ATA Interface
Serial ATA (SATA) is the latest generation of the ATA interface. SATA hard
drives deliver blistering transfer speeds of up to 150MB/sec. Serial ATA uses
long, thin cables, making it easier to connect your drive and improving the
airflow inside your PC.
♦ Supports 150 MB/s transfers with CRC error checking
♦ Large LBA support for drives over 137 GB
♦ Data handling optimizations including tagged command queuing, elevator seek
and packet chain command
Ultra ATA Interface
♦ Standard ATA/IDE interface
♦ Supports Ultra ATA/133, Ultra ATA/100, and Ultra ATA/66 drives
♦ Supports CRC error checking for Ultra ATA drives
♦ Separate timing control for two devices attached to one ATA channel
Serial/Ultra ATA RAID Interfaces
The Serial/Ultra ATA RAID is designed to provide a cost-effective, high
performance RAID solution that adds performance and/or reliability to PC
desktops and/or servers using Serial ATA/150, Ultra ATA/133, Ultra ATA/100,
Ultra ATA/66 hard disks.
Serial/Ultra ATA RAID function supports striping (RAID 0), mirroring (RAID
1), striping + mirroring (RAID 0+1) and span (JBOD). Please note that the
function supports hard disk drives only and the South Bridge SiS964
SATA controller don’t support Striping + mirroring (Raid 0+1).
With striping, identical drives can read and write data in parallel to increase
performance. Mirroring increases read performance through load balancing
and elevator sorting while creating a complete backup of your files. Span
would increase the logic hard disk space.
Serial/Ultra ATA RAID striped arrays can double the sustained data transfer
rate of Serial ATA/150 and Ultra ATA/133 drives. Serial/Ultra ATA RAID fully

supports Serial ATA/150 and Ultra ATA/133 specification of up to 150MB/sec
per drive, depending on individual drive specifications.
The technology also offers fault tolerant, data redundancy for entry-level
network file servers or simply for desktop PC users wanting to continually
protect valuable data on their PC. The Serial/Ultra ATA RAID offers RAID 1
mirroring (for two drives) to protect data. Should a drive that is part of a
mirrored array fail, Serial/Ultra ATA RAID technology uses the mirrored drive
(which contains identical data) to assume all data handling. When a new
replacement drive is later installed, Serial/Ultra ATA RAID rebuilds data to
the new drive from the mirrored drive to restore fault tolerance.
Features
z The SiS180 controller support two Serial ATA (Serial ATA RAID)
and two Ultra ATA (Ultra ATA RAID) drives. The South Bridge SiS964
SATA controller only support two Serial ATA (Serial ATA RAID) drivers.
z Support RAID function: RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD and RAID 0+1.
(RAID 0+1 function can be used by SiS180 controller with all
hard drivers on it.)
z Support bootable disk except for RAID 0+1.
z Windows-based SiS RAID Utility software tool (only support
Windows XP and 2000).

Step 0. What is RAID
Know How
This section will give you an overview about the RAID system and introduce
the basic background and glossary which you need to know before using
“SiS RAID Controller Application”.
1. RAID: (Redundant Array of Independent Disk Drives) use jointly several
hard drives to increase data transfer rates and data security. It depends
on the number of drives present and RAID function you select to fulfill
the security or performance purposes or both.
2. RAID 0: Also known as “Stripping”. All of the data are distributed evenly
to all of the existing drives. You gain benefits on performance because
the data transfer rate is multiplied by the number of drives. However,
RAID 0 has high risks of data security. All of the stored data will be lost if
even any one drive in the RAID set crashes.
3. RAID 1: Also known as “Mirroring”. Two hard drives are required. The
goal of RAID 0 is to ensure data security. Data is written to two or more
drives synchronously. That is, 100% duplication of data from one drive
to another.
4. RAID 0+1: Also known as “StripeMirror”. At least four hard drivers are
required. RAID 0+1 is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1. Data is
striped into two drives then mirrored. It provides high performance and
high data protection. This is a costly solution as RAID 1 because the two
mirrored drives represent an expensive insurance
5. JBOD: (Just a Bunch of Drives). Also known as “Spanning”. Two or
more hard drives are required. Several hard disk types configured as a
single hard disk. The hard drives are simply hooked up in series. This
expands the capacity of your drive and results in a useable total capacity.
However, JBOD will not increase any performance or data security.
Performance hints and recommend setting
For the best performance and reliability, please read the following
suggestions.
1. In Serial ATA port, use Native Serial ATA drives. Parallel ATA to Serial
ATA converter board is NOT suggested.
2. In Parallel ATA port, use ATA 66/100/133 hard drives
3. Use the same model hard drives.
4. If you have only two Serial ATA drives, the auto-configure function will
assign each on a different channel as a master drive. Using only two
Parallel ATA drives to create a RAID array is NOT suggested. It might
decrease performance.
