Each RAID level offers a unique combination of performance and redundancy.
- Page 57 RAID Technology Overview RAID is the technology of grouping several physical drives into an array that you can define as one or more logical drives. Each logical drive appears to the operating system as a single drive. This grouping technique greatly enhances logical-drive capacity and performance beyond the physical limitations of a single physical drive.

Page 58: Raid 10 Arrays
Disk Drives in Logical Drive RAID 10 Arrays A RAID 10 array is built from two or more equal-sized RAID 1 arrays. Adaptec RAID controllers support a maximum number of 48 disk drives in a RAID 10 array. Data in a RAID 10 array is both striped and mirrored. Mirroring provides data protection, and striping improves performance. -
Page 59: Selecting The Best Raid Level
Drive segment size is limited to the size of the smallest disk drive in the array. For instance, an array with two 250 GB disk drives and two 400 GB disk drives can create two mirrored drive segments of 250 GB, for a total of 500 GB for the array, as shown in the following figure.

Page 63: What's A Sas Address
SAS controller port options vary. A SAS controller with four phys could be configured with one wide port, with two wide ports that comprise two phys, or with four narrow ports each containing one phy. (A wide port with four phys is referred to as a 4-wide or 4x port.) What’s a SAS Address? Each SAS port is identified with a unique SAS address, which is shared by all phys on that port. -

12 SAS or SATA disk drives. Some backplanes support daisy-chain expansion to other backplanes. For example, you can daisy-chain up to nine Adaptec S50 enclosures to a single SAS controller in a host system. SAS Expander Connections A SAS expander device literally expands the number of end devices that you can connect together. -
Page 65: How Is Sas Different From Parallel Scsi
You can connect up to 128 edge expanders to a fanout expander. You can use only one fanout expander in any single SAS domain (a topology of SAS—and possibly SATA—end devices and expander devices). A single SAS domain can therefore comprise up to 16,384 SAS ports (and therefore up to 16,384 SAS addresses). - Page 66 Parallel SCSI Serial Attached SCSI User intervention required to set SAS addresses self-configured by SAS SCSI IDs devices Requires bus termination Requires no bus termination Standard SCSI connectors SAS connectors (see Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● page...
