RAID 1 or 10 (Mirror set, Stripe of mirror sets)
Number of drives: 2 (RAID 1) or 4 (RAID 10).
Unit capacity: size of one member (RAID 1) or size of two members (RAID
10).
Spares: yes – if EZ mode is not disabled and 3 (RAID 1) or 5 (RAID 10)
drives are present, the array will be initialized with a spare.
Spares: yes – if EZ mode is not disabled and 3 (RAID 1) or 5 (RAID 10)
drives are present, the array will be initialized with a spare.
Fault tolerance: RAID 1 can withstand the loss of one drive without losing
data. RAID 10 can withstand the loss of one drive from each mirror set
without losing data.
RAID 1 works by duplicating the exact same data on two drives.
RAID 10 works by using two RAID 1 sets configured as members of a RAID
0. Disks 1 and 2 are mirrored, disks 3 and 4 are mirrored, and the two mirror
sets are striped together.
RAID 3 (Stripe set with dedicated parity)
Number of drives: at least 3
Unit capacity: size of one member times number of members minus one.
Spares: yes
Fault tolerance: can withstand the loss of one drive without losing data.
RAID 3 works by striping data for individual I/O blocks across all members
except one, which contains parity data for the stripe set computed by the Port
Multiplier.
RAID 5 (Stripe set with striped parity)
Number of drives: at least 3
Unit capacity: size of one member times number of members minus one.
Spares: yes
Fault tolerance: can withstand the loss of one drive without losing data.
RAID 5 works by striping entire I/O blocks across all members of the set, with
each member taking turns carrying parity data computed by the Port
Multiplier.
CLONE (Mirror set)
Number of drives: at least 2
Unit capacity: size of one member.
Spares: yes
Fault tolerance: can withstand the loss of any number of drives without losing
data as long as at least one complete member remains online.
