- 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.2

NVIDIA® MediaShield™ Storage
Maximum Performance for Better Stability
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.
The benefits of the NVIDIA MediaShield Storage suite include:
RAID 5: Smart Protection and Optimal Data Access
NVIDIA's MediaShield RAID technology implements RAID 5, one of the most popular RAID levels in industry. Data is striped and parity is distributed across three or more drives. This allows for an ideal case of improving disk performance and providing fault tolerance, with a minimum usage of 3 disk drives.
RAID 0: Disk Striping Delivers Unmatched Storage Performance and Scalability
NVIDIA's MediaShield RAID technology implements industry-standard RAID 0 disk striping capabilities. Striping increases the throughput available from a disk drive by intelligently arranging data to minimize disk seeks during read and write operations, thereby enhancing disk performance
RAID 1: Disk Mirroring Provides Protection for Your Most Important Digital Assets
NVIDIA's MediaShield RAID technology also includes RAID 1 fault-tolerant capabilities. RAID 1 disk mirroring enables one disk to serve as a hot standby for another disk, providing protection in the event of disk failure and ensuring high-availability access to mission-critical data. NVIDIA's MediaShield RAID disk mirroring solution achieves fault tolerance while also delivering high-performance reads and writes.
Performance and Protection: Combining the Two
NVIDIA's MediaShield RAID technology also allows for RAID 0+1 operation, a combination of disk striping for optimized performance and disk mirroring for fault tolerance.
The advanced storage capabilities of the NVIDIA MCPs continue the NVIDIA tradition of built-in functionality that allows users to get the most out of their computer. The NVIDIA MediaShield Storage technology, a standard feature in the latest NVIDIA MCPs, provides a cost-effective foundation for reliable, highly available, optimized data storage solutions. With an easy-to-use interface, NVIDIA's MediaShield Storage removes the barriers associated with RAID storage management in the past. NVIDIA's MediaShield Storage technology shifts the scale back in the direction of reliability and stability, and lowers the total cost of ownership for optimized, highly available data storage solutions.
