•Chapter 1, “Overview,” describes the SAS, Serial ATA (SATA) II, and

Solid State Disk (SSD) technologies, configuration scenarios, and

Technical Support information.

•Chapter 2, “Introduction to RAID,” describes RAID (Redundant Array

of Independent Disks), RAID functions and benefits, RAID

components, RAID levels, and configuration strategies. In addition, it

defines the RAID availability concept, and offers tips for configuration

planning.

•Chapter 3, “Full Disk Encryption,” describes the Full Disk Encryption

(FDE) features, terminology, and workflow.
