A RAID 0 or RAID 1 coniguration 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 coniguration requires at least three hard drives. (The total number of hard drives does •
not have to be an even number.)
A RAID 10 coniguration requires four hard drives.
•
(Note) 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.
