NVIDIA MediaShield 9.5

Today's computing experiences are increasingly dependent on overall system performance, high-speed networking, rich streaming media, and a variety of multimedia capabilities. While CPU and graphics processing unit (GPU) speeds and system capacities advance at an aggressive pace, the basic system architecture continues to evolve more slowly, and various critical devices and subsystems often degrade the overall experience. The first NVIDIA nForce™ MCPs were introduced to meet these challenges. And the newest NVIDIA nForce solutions extend this tradition of delivering advanced core technologies and industry-leading performance to today’s computer platforms through the NVIDIA RAID storage solution bundled with NVIDIA MediaShield Storage Technology1.
Main features:
-Now with RAID 5 offering smart data protection and optimal data access: Users now have the peace of mind to store their personal pictures, music, videos, and other important documents on their PC without having to worry about losing the data. RAID 5 offers fault tolerant capability to automatically back up your most important files, while also providing faster disk access and additional storage capacity.
-Intelligent Disk Alert System simplifies troubleshooting: Provides the user an easy way to identify the failing SATA drive through a visual "alert system".
-Dual-Controller architecture delivers unmatched scalability and performance: Exploits the dedicated storage controller in NVIDIA nForce MCPs so that as SATA devices are added to RAID 0 or RAID 0 1 array your storage performance increases.
-NVIDIA is leading the market with top SATA 3Gb/s disk drive manufacturers: SATA 3Gb/s doubles bus bandwidth and improves disk performance for blazingly fast disk performance.
