RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard disk
drives. Among the advantages of RAID 5 configuration include better HDD
performance, fault tolerance, and higher storage capacity. The RAID 5 configuration
is best suited for transaction processing, relational database applications, enterprise
resource planning, and other business systems. Use a minimum of three identical
hard disk drives for this setup.
RAID 10 is data striping and data mirroring combined without parity (redundancy
data) having to be calculated and written. With the RAID 10 configuration you get
all the benefits of both RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations. Use four new hard disk
drives or use an existing drive and three new drives for this setup.
Intel Matrix Storage Manager. The Intel® Matrix Storage technology supported by
the ICH7R chip allows you to create a RAID 0 and a RAID 1 set using only two
identical hard disk drives. The Intel® Matrix Storage technology creates two
partitions on each hard disk drive to create a virtual RAID 0 and RAID 1 sets. This
technology also allows you to change the hard disk drive partition size without
losing any data.
