Raid-Mode-Settings - Fantec SQ-X2RU3e User Manual

5. Raid Settings
You can configure the FANTEC SQ-X2RU3e to use any of the following Storage Policies to
map the appliance's physical hard drives to virtual drives that are visible to the host
computer. The virtual drives are called volumes in the GUI. The host operating system
treats each volume as if it were a single physical drive.
This virtualization allows you to overcome restrictions that are imposed by physical
hard drives, such as speed, storage capacity or data storage reliability
