Supported RAID
Levels
• RAID 0 – Data striped across 1-16 drives for increased performance, but no data protection
• RAID 1 – Mirrored pair of drives for data protection with increased read performance
• RAID 1E – Data mirroring extended to maximize balanced performance. Allows odd number
drive mirroring
• RAID 5 – Striped parity on 3-16 drives, ultimate data protection, capacity and performance
balance
