hard disks.
Striped (RAID 0)—RAID 0 uses a technique called data striping. Multiple hard disks
are combined to make one large volume. RAID 0 can read and write faster than a
simple configuration, since it splits the data and accesses all disks in parallel. RAID 0
does not provide any data redundancy. RAID 0 requires two or more hard disks.
RAID 0+1—RAID 0+1 Creates a mirror (RAID 1) out of two Striped (RAID 0) volumes.
RAID 0+1 provides the same benefits as RAID 1, but allows you to use more than two
drives (must be an even number). The RAID capacity is half of the physical drives.
RAID 5—RAID 5 provides the best balance of data redundancy and disk capacity. Like
RAID 0, RAID 5 stripes all of the available disks into one large volume; however, the
space equivalent to one hard drive will be used to store parity data. If a hard drive
fails, the Iomega StorCenter Pro server will rebuild your files using the parity data.
RAID 5 requires at least 3 hard drives.
CAUTION! Some RAID configurations add a level of redundancy for your data; however,
RAID should not be your only means of backup.
