Spares: yes Fault tolerance: can withstand the loss of one drive without losing data. RAID 3 works by striping data for individual I/O blocks across all members except one, which contains parity data for the stripe set computed by the Port Multiplier.

To create an array with one or more spares, set or modify the RAID mode using fewer than 5 members, while the spares are disconnected from the Port Multiplier.
