RAID0 (one or more HDDs required)
Multiple HDDs are grouped and constructed as one unique logical device. Data is
recorded randomly, write and read performance is high.
RAID1 (two HDDs required)
HDDs are mirrored images of each other. Data is written to both HDDs, if one HDD is
damaged, operation is continued by the other HDD.
RAID5 (three or more HDDs required)
Multiple HDDs are grouped and constructed as a single logical device. Data and parity
are recorded randomly in the grouped HDDs. If one HDD is damaged, operation is
continued by the other HDDs.
Hot Spare (can be used if RAID1 or RAID5 is selected)
Hot Spare is a spare HDD in stand-by mode; when one HDD is damaged, the hot spare
automatically goes on-line.
TECHNICAL NOTE: If your server is equipped with a RAID controller, but Power
Console (Windows NT) or MegaRAID Manager (NetWare) is not installed, you can
replace a faulty hard disk drive while the server is running, but you will not be able
to recover (rebuild) the disk array.
HDD Assignment
Select the number of HDDs for the RAID configuration from the list. When "MAX" has
been selected, the RAID array is structured with the maximum number of HDDs (6).
