Using Manual Configuration: RAID 50
RAID 50 provides the features of both RAID 0 and RAID 5. RAID 50 uses both
distributed parity and drive striping across multiple drive groups. It provides
high data throughput, data redundancy, and very good performance. It is best
implemented on two RAID 5 drive groups with data striped across both drive
groups. Though multiple drive failures can be tolerated, only one drive failure can
be tolerated in each RAID 5 level drive group.
RAID 50 is appropriate when used with data that requires high reliability, high
request rates, high data transfer, and medium to large capacity.
