Figure 58 RAID Configuration Example (When 12 SSDs Are Installed)

RAID5 × 2, Hot spare × 1, Unused drive × 1
Drive#0 Drive#1
Drive#5 Drive#6
*1: The capacity of the user data area is equivalent to four drives.
●
For SAS Disks and Nearline SAS Disks
RAID groups are created with RAID6, which has high storage efficiency.
Table 30 shows a guideline for the number of drives and user capacities when 1.2TB SAS disks are installed and
Figure 59 shows an example RAID configuration.
