(Note)
A RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration requires at least two hard drives. If more than two hard drives
•
are to be used, the total number of hard drives must be an even number.
A RAID 5 configuration requires at least three hard drives. (The total number of hard drives does
•
not have to be an even number.)
A RAID 10 configuration requires four hard drives.
•
When a RAID set is built across the SATA 6Gb/s and SATA 3Gb/s channels, the system performance
of the RAID set may vary depending on the devices being connected.
