It is not possible to run a RAID array on a Mini ITX motherboard that doesnˇ¦t have an onboard RAID chipset since thereˇ¦s no room for a RAID card, not true. The
MB982SPR-2S has a built-in RAID chipset that supports RAID 0, 1, PM and BIG functions. It allows you to use two 2.5ˇ¨ SATA HDD/SSD in RAID in a single 3.5ˇ¨ bay. With its screw-less design, you are able to put two drives in without tool or screws. Screwing the
MB982SPR-2S into a 3.5ˇ¨ drive bay only required 4 screws. Setting up the RAID array can either be done by using the built-in hardware RAID switch or the RAID manager software. Next connect the SATA cable from the
MB982SPR-2S to the motherboard, plug in the SATA power connector and now you have a standalone hardware RAID array in your system.
