the presence of the battery enables write caching. When the battery fails, write-caching stops and performance drops. When the battery is fixed, write-caching begins again and performance improves.
Lol nobody really knew............Poop
RAID is implemented using a RAID controller on the motherboard or on a RAID controller card. RAID is enabled in the BIOS.
Hardware will be RAID PCIe / PCIx RAID hardware controller but The hardware RAID is often the motherboard RAID controller or a separate RAID card.
Removing a PCI card from a system should generally not cause any boot problems. Probably the only exception would be if the card was a RAID controller, and you moved the drives to another controller.
RAID is short for Random Array of Independent Disks and is used to manage how data is stored on multiple hard drives on ones computer. Its purpose is to improve read and write speed.
It's a device that manages the physical hard drives installed into you computer. Since it's very common when used in hardware RAID, it is often called a RAID controller.
Name says major difference between both. by the way Software RAID is created using feature provided by Operating System or any special software, but Hardware RAID is created using Hardware RAID controller Card. When you create RAID you are adding overheads to read and write operations. If you create software RAID and your server is too busy or you have many read and write operations you will see there is impact on performance. When you create HARDWARE RAID you will use dedicated controller with processor and some cache. This will not create overhead for your OS and you will find better performance. Software RAID will save some money for you but Hardware RAID will provide you value addition.
Depends on the raid controller. Windows 7 includes a awefull lot of drivers, so it probably will just work without reinstalling the drivers.
Check with your motherboard manual (if it has onboard RAID), or check with your RAID controller's manual to see if it supports setting up single drives and not having a raid configuration.

SAS RAID controller cards can be purchased from Intel, HP, Dell Canada or Newegg. If one is knowledgeable enough with this product Ebay is an excellent choice for finding cheaper prices.
Some of the best Sata Raid Controller brands include LSI, High Point, Areca, Adaptec, and Intel. These products can be bought online on New Egg and other electronics retailers.
