Computer Hardware Terms, Glossary and Dictionary

RAID on motherboard (ROMB) refers to RAID circuits built on the motherboard rather than a plug-in host adapter. ROMB is a memory system in which the RAID component of the system is kept separate from the PCI buses so that the PCI buses do not interfere with RAID traffic and cause bottlenecking. ROMB saves a PCI slot and improves speed because it is not using a shared bus.
