4 Function of the RAID Controller The Adaptec TM product name for the RAID Controller is SCSI RAID 2100S TM. The function of the RAID Controller (shown in Figure 1 below) is to combine multiple disk drives into an array of disk drives to obtain performance, capacity, and reliability that exceeds that of a single large drive. The array of drives appears to the host computer as a single logical drive. Figure 1. RAID Controller The RAID Controller can be installed in a PCI slot close to the CPU on an Omvia Media Server. 4 RAID Controller Installation Guide , Second Edition
