RAID Levels

Level Description
JBOD

The storage volume is a single HDD with no RAID support. JBOD

requires a minimum of 1 disk.

RAID 0

Provides data striping but no redundancy. Improves
performance but not data safety. RAID 0 requires a minimum of

2 disks.

RAID 1

Offers disk mirroring. Provides twice the read rate of single

disks, but same write rate. RAID 1 requires a minimum of 2

disks.

RAID 5

Data striping and stripe error correction information provided.

RAID 5 requires a minimum of 3 disks. RAID 5 can sustain one
