Dell Equallogic PS6010e User Manual

March 2013 Dell EqualLogic Configuration Guide v14.1 4-32
4.2 RAID 10 drive layouts and total reported usable storage
Using a RAID 10 policy, Table 12 shows the drive layouts that are enforced based on the number of
drives in each array/hot spare configuration, and the total usable storage available for each model.
RAID 10 (mirrored sets in a striped set) combines two high performance RAID types: RAID 0 and RAID
1. A RAID 10 is created by first building a series of two disk RAID 1 mirrored sets, and then distributing
data over those mirrors. RAID 10 implementations can tolerate one drive failure per mirror pair.
