Dell Equallogic PS6010e User Manual

March 2013 Dell EqualLogic Configuration Guide v14.1 4-33
4.3 RAID 50 drive layouts and total reported usable storage
Table 13 shows the drive layouts that are enforced when using a RAID 50 policy based on the number
of drives in each array/hot spare configuration and the total usable storage available for each model.
RAID 50 (RAID 5 sets in a striped set) is created by first creating two or more RAID 5 sets and then
striping data over those RAID5 sets. RAID 50 implementations can tolerate a single drive failure per
RAID5 set.

(a) RAID 50 requires an even number of disk drives. A 7 drive configuration without hot-spare would result in odd
number of disk drives.
(b) 48 drive arrays implement stripes across multiple RAID 5 sets within a single chassis.
(c) 48 drive arrays cannot implement a no hot-spare policy.
