RAID
This section introduces RAID-related information.
What is RAID
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a technology that provides increased storage functions and
reliability through redundancy. It also can improve data storage reliability and fault tolerance compared with
single-drive storage systems. Data loss resulting from a drive failure can be prevented by reconstructing
missing data from the remaining drives.
When a group of independent physical storage drives is set up to use RAID technology, they are in a RAID
array. This array distributes data across multiple storage drives, but the array appears to the host computer
as one single storage unit. Creating and using RAID arrays provides high performance, such as the expedited
I/O performance, because several drives can be accessed simultaneously.
Storage drive requirements for RAID levels
Ensure that your computer has two identical storage drives installed (two M.2 NVMe solid-state drives with
the same capacity) for supported RAID levels. If only one drive is installed, or two different types of drives are
installed, the following information does not apply.
Your computer supports the following RAID levels:
• RAID 0: striped disk array (missing data resulting from a drive failure cannot be reconstructed)
– Consists of two identical storage drives
– Supported strip size: 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, or 128 KB
– Better performance without fault tolerance
– Higher risk of data loss resulting from a member drive failure compared with non-RAID configuration
