RAID 60 Logical Drives

Note:

RAID 1E is an upgrade feature; if the RAID 1E feature is locked,

see

Adding Enhanced Features on page 21

for information on

purchasing a feature key.

Similar to a RAID 50 logical drive (see

page 170

), a RAID 60 logical

drive is built from eight disk drives configured as two or more RAID 6
logical drives, and stripes stored data and two sets of parity data across
all disk drives in both RAID 6 logical drives.

Two sets of parity data provide enhanced data protection, and striping
improves performance. RAID 60 logical drives also provide high data
transfer speeds.
