Your computer must have the minimum number of SATA or SAS hard disk drives installed for the supported
level of RAID below:

• RAID Level 0 – Striped disk array

– Two hard disk drives minimum

– Better performance without fault tolerance

• RAID Level 1 – Mirrored disk array

– Two hard disk drives minimum

– Improved read performance and 100% redundancy

• RAID Level 5 – Block-level striped disk array with distributed parity

– Three hard disk drives minimum

– Data striped at the byte level

– Stripe error correction information

– Better performance and fault tolerance

• RAID Level 10 – Combining features of RAID 0 and RAID 1

– Four hard disk drives minimum

– Very high reliability combined with high performance

– Fault tolerance

To install a new SATA or SAS hard disk drive, refer to the installation procedure in “Replacing a hard disk
drive” in the
