RAID 1 (Redundancy) – A volume optimized for data redundancy will provide you with a
realtime duplicate copy of your data. Note: Only half of the available volume space will be
available for data storage.
Strip Sizes:
Select the desired strip size setting. As indicated, the optimal setting is 128KB. Selecting any
other option may result in performance degradation. Even though 128KB is the recommended
setting for most users, you should choose the strip size value which is best suited to your
specific RAID usage model. Additional details on the three most typical strip size settings are
listed in 'Strip Size Descriptions'.
