The main features of the Pro266 Master-R include:Supports Promise IDE RAID 0 or 1
As a hard drive matrix, RAID enables users to integrate several hard drives to form a unit hard drive at a larger size, aiming to provide error correction (error tolerance) of system data and to enhance system operation. RAID 1 is for data mirroring or data deposit, it enables error correction (error tolerance) of system data; while RAID 0 is for stripping, whose fast access enhances system operation efficiency extensively.Fuzzy Logic™ 3
Fuzzy Logic™ 3 is an MSI™ own developed proprietary software utility that automatically and intelligently adjusts processor and system frequency. By applying Artificial Intelligence, the process of adjusting to the optimum processor and system frequency is accomplished automatically under Windows® working environment. It is also worth mentioning that Fuzzy Logic™ 3 would reboot automatically without user's pushing RESTART button while system hang by overclocking.
