Supported RAID Types
RAID is an acronym for Redundant Array of Independent Disks.
The goal of RAID is to provide better performance and reliability
from combinations of disk drives than possible with the same total
storage space without RAID.
When creating RAIDs, select drives of equal capacity and
performance. Otherwise, the RAID tends to be limited in capacity
and performance to that of the smallest and slowest drive.
The Adaptec 1210SA supports up to two drives; therefore, only
RAID 0 and RAID 1 arrays are supported. These array types are
described below.
In addition to RAID capability, the Adaptec 1210SA supports a
simple volume configuration, which consists of a single drive that
is not part of an array. Such a drive is automatically configured as a
simple volume. The controller supports up to two simple volumes.
