Supported RAID configurations
The following RAID configurations are supported:
RAID configuration details
Configuration Description Controllers
RAID 0
Integrated striped disk
array
●
Requires a minimum of two drives.
●
Provides improved I/O performance.
●
Provides no fault tolerance.
●
Loses all data if any disk in the array fails.
●
Increases disk performance.
Intel with RST
RAID 1
Mirrored disk array
●
Supports a minimum of two drives.
●
Provides 100% redundancy: all data from one
drive is duplicated on a second drive.
●
Recovers from a single-drive failure.
●
Serves as a good entry-level redundant system.
Intel with RST
RAID 5
Striped disk array with
distributed parity
●
Supports three or more drives.
●
Provides fault tolerance and I/O performance
improvement, especially for write-biased
applications.
●
Retains all data if a single drive fails but
performance is compromised until the failed
drive is replaced and the array rebuilt.
