Chapter 5: RAID configuration

RAID 10 is data striping and data mirroring combined without parity (redundancy

data) having to be calculated and written. With the RAID 10 configuration you get

all the benefits of both RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations. Use four new hard disk

drives or use an existing drive and three new drives for this setup.
RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard

disk drives. Among the advantages of RAID 5 configuration include better

HDD performance, fault tolerance, and higher storage capacity. The RAID

5 configuration is best suited for transaction processing, relational database

applications, enterprise resource planning, and other business systems. Use a

minimum of three identical hard disk drives for this setup.

If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created RAID

set, copy first the RAID driver from the support CD to a floppy disk before you

install an operating system to the selected hard disk drive.
