GV-Storage System V3 (Rev. B) supports single RAID controller configuration. Packaging, Shipment and Delivery Before removing GV-Storage System V3 (Rev. B) from the shipping carton, you should visually inspect the physical condition of the shipping carton. Unpack and verify that the contents of the shipping carton are complete and in good condition.
1.3 Maximum Recorded Channels The maximum number of channels supported by GV-Storage System V3 (Rev. B) varies with the resolution and video compression method, as listed below. It’s highly suggested to keep the total bitrates under 2700 Mbps for better recording performance. Note that The tests were conducted using RAID 5 with 4 HDD in a group, each HDD of 8 TB.
1.4 RAID Concepts RAID Fundamentals The basic idea of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is to combine multiple inexpensive disk drives into an array of disk drives to obtain performance, capacity and reliability that exceeds that of a single large drive. The array of drives appears to the host computer as a single logical drive. Five types of array architectures, RAID 1 through RAID 5, were originally defined;...

Definition of RAID Levels RAID 0 is typically defined as a group of striped disk drives without parity or data redundancy. RAID 0 arrays can be configured with large stripes for multi-user environments or small stripes for single-user systems that access long sequential records. RAID 0 arrays deliver the best data storage efficiency and performance of any array type.

Under RAID 5 parity information is distributed across all the drives. Since there is no dedicated parity drive, all drives contain data and read operations can be overlapped on every drive in the array. Write operations will typically access one data drive and one parity drive. However, because different records store their parity on different drives, write operations can usually be overlapped.
In summary: RAID 0 is the fastest and most efficient array type but offers no fault-tolerance. RAID 0 requires a minimum of twodrives. RAID 1 is the best choice for performance-critical, fault-tolerant environments. RAID 1 is the only choice for fault-tolerance if no more than two drives are used.
Before removing GV-Storage System V3 (Rev. B) from the shipping carton, you should visually inspect the physical condition of the shipping carton. Unpack GV-Storage System V3 (Rev. B) and verify that the contents of the shipping carton are all there and in good condition.
