Supported RAID Configurations

RAID is short for Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disks, 

which is a category of storage that employs two or more drives in 

combination for fault tolerance and performance. There are a number 

of RAID levels in use today such as 0, 1, 3, 5, 6 and 10.
The DXi4000 uses the following RAID level:

•

RAID 6 Configuration

RAID 6 Configuration

RAID 6 uses block-level striping with two parity blocks distributed across 

all member disks. Dual parity provided by a RAID 6 configuration 

ensures that your data retains full integrity even in the event of two 

hard drive failures. Since single parity RAID levels are vulnerable to data
