If one drive fails in a RAID 0 system, all data will be lost (or generally inaccessible) on all of the
drives. For information relating to RAID type selection and their appropriateness for particular
applications, see the section ÒAbout RAID levelsÓ in this manual.

In general, RAID systems are not intended to be regularly powered down. The most common
practice for powering down a RAID system is to always power the host(s) down

first

. By the time

the host is completely powered down, the RAID systemÕs controller will have had time to finish
clearing its cache memory, and writing out final data. Only after the host(s) are completely
powered down should the RAID system be turned OFF.

system with the supplied rails.
