RAID Setup

You may use your hard disks in combination with Striping
(RAID 0), Mirroring (RAID 1) or Recovery for either
fault tolerance or performance.
RAID Level
RAID 0 Identical drives reading and writing data in
(at lease two parallel to increase performance. RAID 0
hard disks/ implements a striped disk array and the data is
SSDs broken into blocks and each block is written to
needed) a separate disk drive.
Identical drives in a mirrored configuration
RAID 1 used to protect data. Should a drive that is
(at lease two part of a mirrored array fail, the mirrored drive
hard disks/ (which contains identical data) will handle all
SSDs the data. When a new replacement drive is
needed) installed, data to the new drive is rebuilt from
the mirrored drive to restore fault tolerance.
Two Identical drives copying data between a
Recovery
master and a recovery disk. This provides more

control over how data is copied between the
hard disks/
master and recovery drives, fast volume

updates and the ability to view the data in

• The Device Drivers & Utilities + User's Manual disc.
Note: All hard disks/SSDs in a RAID should be identical
(the same size and brand) in order to prevent unexpected
system behavior.
