8 Appendix – RAID System 1. Introduction to RAID RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) allows multiple disk drives to be combined together into a RAID Volume. You will create a RAID Volume on your unit when you perform the setup procedure. The benefits of a RAID can include: Higher data transfer rates for increased server performance ...
capacity on the larger drives. Because RAID 0 does not offer Fault Tolerance, meaning that you cannot recover your data after a disk drive failure, we do not recommend a RAID 0 Volume for your unit. RAID 0 Volumes on this unit consist of one or more disk drives. 3.
If you want a mirrored RAID Volume with more than two disk drives, see RAID 10 – Mirror / Stripe for details. RAID 5 – Block Striping with Distributed Parity RAID 5 organizes block data and parity data across the disk drives. Generally, RAID level 5 tends to exhibit lower random write performance due to the heavy workload of parity recalculation for each I/O.
The data capacity RAID 10 Volume equals the capacity of the smallest disk drive times the number of disk drives, divided by two. In some cases, RAID 10 offers double fault tolerance, depending on which disk drives fail. RAID 10 Volumes on this unit consist of four disk drives. Because all of the available disk drives are used for the RAID Volume, you cannot set up a spare drive with RAID 10.
0 RAID Volumes High I/O rates are achieved thanks to multiple stripe segments 9 Appendix – Camera Integration 7. Camera Support List Any information about camera integration, including camera model and its spec, please refer to NUUO website at www.nuuo.com...
