HP Surestore Disk Array 12h - And FC60 Service Manual page 71

RAID Level
RAID 0 100%. All disk space is use for data storage.
RAID 1 and 0/1 50%. All data is duplicated, requiring twice the disk storage for a
given amount of data capacity.
RAID 3 and 5 One disk's worth of capacity from each LUN is required to store
parity data. As the number of disks in the LUN increases, so does
the storage efficiency.
3-disk LUN: 66%
4-disk LUN: 75%
5-disk LUN: 80%
6-disk LUN: 83%
LUN Configuration
RAID 0
RAID 1 mirrored pair
RAID 0/1 group with 10 disks Up to 10.0 > than single disk
RAID 0/1 group with 6 disks
RAID 3 group with 5 disks
RAID-5 group with 5 disks
Storage Efficiency
Relative Read Performance
for Large Sequential Access
The read and write performance of a RAID 0 LUN increases as
the multiple of the number of disks in the LUN. For example, a
4-disk RAID 0 LUN will achieve close to four times the
performance of a single disk.
Up to 2.0 > than single disk
Up to 6.0 > than single disk
Up to 4.0 > than single disk
Up to 4.0 > than single disk
Relative Write Performance
for Large Sequential Access
Equal to single disk
Up to 5.0 > than single disk
Up to 3.0 > than single disk
Up to 1.25 > than single disk
Up to 1.25 > than single disk
