Intel Rapid Storage Technology can also improve the performance of faster boot times and data reads. Also, due to drive load balancing, even systems with RAID 1 can take advantage of three fault-tolerant RAID levels: RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10. By combining from two to six drives in the event of a hard drive failure. Combined with an external drive.
