The AT7 supports Striping (RAID 0), Mirroring (RAID 1), or Striping/Mirroring (RAID 0+1) operation.
For the striping operation, the identical drives can read and write data in parallel to increase performance.
The Mirroring operation creates a complete backup of your files. Striping with Mirroring operation offers
both high read/write performance and fault tolerance although requiring 4 hard disks in order to do so.
