RAID Setup
You may use your hard disks in combination with Striping (RAID 0), Mirroring (RAID 1) or Recovery for either fault
tolerance or performance.
RAID Level
RAID 0
Identical drives reading and writing data in parallel to increase performance. RAID 0 implements a striped
(at lease two hard disks/
disk array and the data is broken into blocks and each block is written to a separate disk drive.
SSDs needed)
RAID 1
Identical drives in a mirrored configuration used to protect data. Should a drive that is part of a mirrored
(at lease two hard disks/
array fail, the mirrored drive (which contains identical data) will handle all the data. When a new replace-

ment drive is installed, data to the new drive is rebuilt from the mirrored drive to restore fault tolerance.
Recovery
Two Identical drives copying data between a master and a recovery disk. This provides more control over how
(at lease two hard disks/
data is copied between the master and recovery drives, fast volume updates and the ability to view the data in
